The following are recommended.
- Name3CreditsDescriptionThis course introduces students to enhanced three-dimensional visualization techniques for commercial and residential environments. Principles and elements include scale, proportion, plane, volume, light and space. Various types of scale models and construction techniques are investigated. Students learn how to assemble accurate three-dimensional representations based on existing plans and elevations. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the skills to create appropriate scale models to represent the desired 3-dimensional intent of a given design. Prerequisite: FD 2120 Visual Design 2
- Name3CreditsDescriptionReal-world applications of green design principles, products, and processes in the built environment are examined, through in-depth analysis of sustainable building procedures. Also, specifications of sustainable products, and a variety of interior applications are explored. Students visit local sustainable building sites, and meet with local sustainable interior designers, architects, and building experts. Students who successfully complete this course will create sustainable design checklists for projects utilizing appropriate LEED and other green rating systems and will have developed skills in identifying, specifying and applying successful sustainable design strategies to both residential and commercial design projects. Prerequisites: ID 1780 Green Design 1, ID 1870 Surfacing Materials, and ID 2860 Residential Design
- Name3CreditsDescriptionThis course provides students with direction and guidance for the development of their interior design portfolio. Emphasis is on the format and presentation of course work completed to date to create of a visual representation of skill development and progression. Students investigate a variety of manual and digital methods to enhance their portfolios. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have a working portfolio that illustrates their individual skills and knowledge of interior design through completed projects in a professional format. Prerequisites: ID 3970 Lighting Layout + Design, ID 3790 Intermediate CAD, ID 3850 Construction Documents, and ID 3980 Business of Interior Design
- Name3CreditsDescriptionThis course builds upon the previous Green Design courses to provide students with a working knowledge of the products, processes, and applications for sustainable interior design solutions. The course also examines how designers can quantify the impacts of their design decisions though research, and how to use this research to contribute to the body of green design knowledge. Students who successfully complete this course will understand how to use LEED rating systems, specify and describe sustainable building and interior materials in construction documents, work with local green designers, architects, and sustainability specialists in workshops, and produce a Green Design portfolio. Prerequisites: ID 3200 Green Design 2, ID 3850 Construction Documents, ID 3810 Office Design, and ID 3860 Restaurant + Retail Design
- Name3CreditsDescriptionThis course introduces students to the theoretical and practical aspects of historic preservation as well as the current issues affecting the design and adaptation of existing and historic buildings. Students explore the design criteria, products, sources of information, and codes and standards applicable to historic preservation through discussion, lecture, projects, and site visits. Upon successful completion of this course, students will possess an enhanced understanding of the systems, policies, laws, treatments, and practices affecting historic preservation projects. Prerequisites: ID 1890 History of Architecture + Furniture 1 and ID 2920 History of Architecture + Furniture 2, junior or senior status
- Name3CreditsDescriptionThis course introduces students to the skills and software for CAD based 3-dimensional computer modeling and rendering for architecture and interior design. Emphasis is upon the appropriate use of commands, routines, operations, and settings for studying and presenting 3-dimensional spaces. Upon successful completion of this course, students will understand terminology related to the software and systems studied and use those systems to develop 3-dimensional computer models to represent design solutions. Prerequisite: ID 3790 Intermediate CAD
