Learning outcomes:

The course aims to introduce students to the skills required for presenting architectural projects in digital 2D format, in accordance with current conventions and representation standards, while also developing personalized architectural expression abilities through presentation images derived from simple geometric models.

It focuses on specific applications for managing architectural projects in a digitalized workflow, guiding students through all types of deliverables that compose a 2D architectural project (title block, plan, elevation/section, urban plan, etc.), helping them support their architectural discourse through simplified presentation images.

Students will be trained in using graphic conventions, scales, and dimensioning systems, as well as in applying methods for organizing and structuring technical information in digital format. Throughout the practical activities, the course contributes to the development of operational competencies required for integrating graphical documentation within the architectural design process.

It seeks to consolidate both technical knowledge and practical skills for transforming sketches and drawings into clear, precise digital sheets, in accordance with the role of the technical drafter in supporting the design team. In this sense, students will learn to create presentation sheets that are visually appealing and clearly structured, emphasizing the essential aspects of the architectural project and supporting professional communication.

Furthermore, the course fosters critical thinking regarding the process of computer-aided design, integrating visual technologies into architectural communication and the presentation of personal projects.
