This course teaches basic digital design modeling + process. Design modeling fuses creativity with physical geometry, visualizations, and feasible implementation. It spans from the beginning of the undefined idea through every stage of deliverables in the life of a project.

This course will define a real-world site through initial schematic/planning, design development, and preliminary implementation level documentation. The major deliverables equivalently occur at (3) intervals throughout the term, with smaller deadlines based on progress exercises therein. The course will move quickly with students given instruction to execute each task.

Learning Objectives:
Students will learn how to use AutoCAD Civil 3D as an integrated platform for contemporary multidisciplinary design. AutoCAD software is vast, but how we navigate it as landscape architects, planners, and urban design practitioners is distinct and hinges on the consistent and precise definition of modeling, scale, file management, and legibility, among other factors.
