IDES 328 Tectonics 2: Detail Design
This course studies materials and methods of detailing, fabrication, documentation and specification for custom work. Emphasis is placed on detailing as a design process. Students learn detailing techniques through research, observation and architectural documentation of non-structural elements of contemporary or modern design. Elements observed and documented may range from furniture and interior casework to non-structural, exterior building elements (custom screens, trellis, etc.). Materials and their integration, application, and/or connections are emphasized. Students are directed through research, conceptual design/diagramming, schematic design, and design development to the final production of a comprehensive project documenting design resolutions of a given project through detailed technical drawings and models. Studio. Prerequisites: IDES 258, Building Systems and Codes, IDES 259: Tectonics 1: Material Logic, and IDES 207, Design Studio 3, Experience.
