2 Part II Course Details 1. Abstract (A 150-word description about the course) The course aims to provide an understanding of the concepts and techniques associated with drafting using free-hand and instruments in architectural design with special emphasis on general drafting terminology, usage of mechanical drafting equipment, basic types of architectural drawings with two-dimensional and three dimensional drawings, an introduction to shades and shadows. Students will start from simple drawings involving basic techniques. Studio works on hands-on experience with drafting tools will be delivered. As the semester progresses, the difficulty and complexity of assignments will be carried out. Drawings will be discussed and demonstrated and applied in design studios. Students will be equipped with the knowledge of graphic standards and drawing conventions of the architectural profession, as well as the capabilities to independently complete comprehensive and quality drawings. 2. Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs) (CILOs state what the student is expected to be able to do at the end of the course according to a given standard of performance.) No. CILOs # Weighting* (if applicable) 1. Cultivate personal free-hand drawing skills for producing architectural design and drawings 2. Cultivate personal digital media drafting skills for producing architectural design and drawings 3. Create the linkages between knowledge of graphic standards and drawing conventions and architectural practice 4. Establish assessment system to appreciate the quality of drawings and associated works Discovery-enriched curriculum related learning outcomes (please tick where appropriate) A1 A2 A3 * If weighting is assigned to CILOs, they should add up to 100%. 100% # Please specify the alignment of CILOs to the Gateway Education Programme Intended Learning outcomes (PILOs) in Section A of Annex. A1: Attitude Develop an attitude of discovery/innovation/creativity, as demonstrated by students possessing a strong sense of curiosity, asking questions actively, challenging assumptions or engaging in inquiry together with teachers. A2: Ability Develop the ability/skill needed to discover/innovate/create, as demonstrated by students possessing critical thinking skills to assess ideas, acquiring research skills, synthesizing knowledge across disciplines or applying academic knowledge to self-life problems. A3: Accomplishments Demonstrate accomplishment of discovery/innovation/creativity through producing /constructing creative works/new artefacts, effective solutions to real-life problems or new processes.

3 3. Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs) (TLAs designed to facilitate students achievement of the CILOs.) TLA Brief Description CILO No. Hours/week (if applicable) Studio 1. Knowledge of graphic conventions for a presentation and for architectural drawings 2. Knowledge of Shades and shadows on building surfaces and depict in drawings graphite on vellum, ink, and freehand sketching Workshop 1. Hand on practices: hardline drawings with Draft 2D orthogonal views of 3D objectives Draft 3D views of 2D objectives (orthographic projection and perspective) Workshop: Draft a floor plan Workshop: Draft a section Workshop: Draft an elevation Workshop: Read blueprints 2. Real cases, professional drawing documents used in construction industry, will be used for discussion. 3. Students are encouraged to identify the linkage between what they learned in studio and those presented in the real case. 4. Different documents, with high/medium/low quality, will be provided. Students are encouraged to create the criteria of making high quality drawings by comparison studies Semester Hours: 3 hours per week Lecture/Tutorial/Laboratory Mix: Lecture (0); Tutorial (0); Laboratory (3*) *Studio and Workshop 4. Assessment Tasks/Activities (ATs) (ATs are designed to assess how well the students achieve the CILOs.) Assessment Tasks/Activities CILO No. Weighting* Remarks Continuous Assessment: 100 % Coursework 50% Presentation 30% Mid-Term Quiz 20% Examination: 0 % (duration: 0 hours) * The weightings should add up to 100%. 100%

4 5. Assessment Rubrics (Grading of student achievements is based on student performance in assessment tasks/activities with the following rubrics.) Assessment Task Criterion Excellent (A+, A, A-) 1.
