20. Course description (as per the published):

Introduction to techniques and graphics conventions and standards used in working drawings
with stress on the plans, elevations, sections, and construction details. Interrelationship of
design, working drawings and construction. Each student to produce at least one set of
architectural working drawing for a project, which he/she designed in a previous semester.
Coordination and checking of drawings (plans, elevations, sections, detail and services
layouts). Teaching is by means of lectures, studio works, site visits.

Preparing an architectural working drawing set for a project or part of it of the student’s
previous designs. The set will include plans, elevations, sections, building services, schedules,
and details with emphasis on the use of code of best practices. The specific objectives of this
course are as follows: - To enable the students to prepare a complete set of construction
documents (architectural working drawing) and details for a designed project; - To enable the
students to understand the interrelationship between design, working drawings and
construction; - To enable Research, application and detail of up-to-date building technologies,
systems and materials in the working drawings; - To enable the students to compliance with
international and local code of practices. The students who complete this course will - Be able
to recognize the importance of technology in the conception of an architectural solution and its
development to an appropriate form. - Be able to judge, select and engage appropriate the
technological construction systems and production a functional arrangement to produce a
building that meets given needs.
