Architecture and 3D Modelling 10 (5 credits)
Course Fee: $35.00 Create the cities of tomorrow - the houses we live in, the offices we work in, and the objects around us. Invent and innovate! In this course, students will design a home in 3D and take a virtual walk through to see the finished product, create a 3D object on the computer and see it come to life on our 3D printer, and even animate some of their projects. Like professionals worldwide, we will be using Autodesk® software, to explore qualities in designing, visualizing, and animating highly original structures and objects. Students will have the opportunity to download full versions of all Autodesk software for personal use at home. No previous design or computer experience is required. There is a $35 fee for this class to cover the cost of printing a 3D model. |
Architecture & 3D Modelling 20 (5 credits)
Pre-requisite: Architecture and 3D Modelling 10 (previously Design Studies 10) Course Fee: $35.00 Students continue in this course to expand skills and creativity in the area of architecture. We will look at the impact building has on our environment through the design of an eco-friendly house and the landscape around it. Architecture 20 may be taken on its own or combined with 3D Modelling 20 for a total of 6 CTS credits. Building on skills from Architecture and 3D Modelling 10, students will plan, design, test, and print a 3D model consisting of moving parts. Once finished, students will create an animation showing how the parts move. 3D Modelling 20 may be taken on its own or combined with Architecture 20 for a total of 6 CTS credits. |
Architecture 30 &3D Modelling 30 (3 credits)
Pre-requisite: 3D Modelling 20 (previously Design Studies 20) Course Fee: $35.00 Students will participate in the Calgary Home Builder’s Association House Design Contest. Following a detailed design brief, they will create an amazing home, add details and interior furnishing, and landscaping. This project will be printed in 2D and placed on display boards for submission to the contest. Architecture 30 may be taken on its own or combined with 3D Modelling 30 for a total of 6 CTS credits. Students will continue developing skills, assessing the objects around us and how they are created, and will choose a project where they will either use innovation to provide a solution to a problem with a current object, or will invent something new to solve a problem. 3D Modelling 30 may be taken on its own or combined with Architecture 30 for a total of 6 CTS credits. |
