Course abstract

In the study course students get acquainted with the design of drawings of building structures and engineering structures, learn drawing and project design standards and regulations, develop a set of drawings in computer equipment, get acquainted with the requirements of building plans, sections, facades and assemblies and drawings. Drawing, design and printing of various architectural elements, construct a 3D model of a building in Revit software.
