Abstract:
The aim of this mentorship was to focus on residential drawing and design. I was given the opportunity to develop a preliminary drawing of a house design. Emphasis was placed on the development of architectural drafting skills with the use of professional tools, equipment and materials like those of an architectural draftsman. The plans were made using the Computer Aided Design (CAD) Program. Floor plans, left, right, front, and rear elevations were all part of the design process. After the plans were finalized a model was created out of foam board.
