Learning outcomes
The course introduces students to the basics of technical drawing in architecture and civil engineering. It familiarizes them with the rules of technical drawing, basic geometric shapes, solids, curves, and surfaces. It further develops spatial imagination through Monge projection, axonometry, and various types of perspective. The course also covers the basics of object lighting, 3D modeling, and drawing designs into photographs. Finally, the course provides an introduction to geodesy and cartography as a basis for architectural practice.
Knowledge Students: 1. Know the principles of technical drawing, including marking, scales, sections, and labeling drawings. 2. Understands the principles of depicting basic geometric shapes, curves, solids, and surfaces. 3. Has mastered the principles of Monge projection and various types of spatial representations (axonometry, one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective). 4. Has a basic overview of the principles of lighting objects in artistic and technical representation. 5. Understands the basics of 3D modeling and the importance of drawing into photographs in architectural practice. 6. Has a basic orientation in geodesy and cartography in relation to architectural design. General competencies Students: 1. Are able to present designs accurately, both technically and artistically, in accordance with architectural practice. 2. Demonstrate spatial imagination and the ability to convert 2D images into 3D form and vice versa. 3. Are able to effectively use technical imaging as a tool for communicating designs. 4. Is prepared to use technical drawing skills in other design subjects and in project work. Skills Students: 1. Are able to technically correctly depict geometric shapes, curves, and solids in two-dimensional and three-dimensional systems. 2. Are proficient in the construction of views and perspective drawings for design and presentation purposes (1-3 vanishing points). 3. Are able to work with Monge projection in construction tasks. 4. Can apply lighting principles to basic solids and understand the impact of light in drawing and model presentations. 5. Can create a simple 3D model of a building and incorporate it into a photograph of a real environment. 6. Can use basic geodetic and cartographic data as part of the design process.
Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined examination

The basis consists of lectures in the form of explanations accompanying the visual materials presented. A projector or large-screen monitor is used for projection in the classroom. Explanation of individual construction methods in the form of illustrative examples, followed by verification of understanding of the subject matter through exercises focused on descriptive geometry imaging techniques. The exercises are performed through freehand drawing, sketching, and the use of IT technologies.
