Recommended Optional Program Components: None
Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to explore the theory and application of graphic documentation methodologies for buildings. Historic buildings will also be considered, but the focus is on measured drawing of contemporary buildings.

Since this is in part a studio class, students will learn by doing—including hand measuring, drafting, preparing a sketch plan, analyzing buildings, and producing finished drawings in ink and/or CAD.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Grasps the importance and relevance of measured drawings for the discipline of interior architecture,
2) Becomes conversant with both traditional, electronic and optical means of measuring buildings and interior spaces,
3) Interprets measurements and turns these into plans, sections and elevations,
4) Grasps the fundamentals of measured drawings, restitutions and restoration projects for historic buildings, and acquires the ability to provide project proposals for contemporary interiors, after producing their measured drawings.

Course Content

This class focuses on theory and history of measured drawings, principles of manual measuring, measuring with optical and/or electronic instruments, and producing measured drawing from photographs.
