Project Design Realization: From Concept to Construction

3 units

Advanced study of professional practice topics focusing particularly on project management, construction documents production, and construction phase services and responsibilities of the architect. Students will select a project, which they have produced previously in design studio and will create construction documents for this project. Likewise, the individual projects will be used to discuss project management processes and construction administration. This is not a technology course, but rather focuses on concepts and systems used by the architectural profession to describe architectural designs for the purpose of bidding the project, and creating a legally binding document on behalf of architectural clients.
