| Course Objective | The aim of this course is to present basic CAD logic by applications to new architecture students. The fundamental CAD information which learnt in this course will be progressed by following computer modeling courses of next years and also will be used in architectural studios. |
| Course Content | This course will introduce students to architectural design and computation through the use of computer modeling. The course focuses on teaching architectural design with 2D/3D CAD drawing. Students will be required to build computer models that will lead to a full package of architectural explorations with computers. AutoCAD software will be used in lectures. |
