MašZ2009 [GMAS2009] Descriptive Geometry, Technical Drawing II

Course abstract

The projection of the topographical surface in the plan view. Two-dimensional projecting of principal geometrical elements. The landbuilding normalization of the topographical surface. Limits of cut and fill in the langitudinal section and cross - sections of the roadway.
The shades of geometrical and building elements in orthographic and axonometric views. Methods of shade construction. Method of central projecting. The elements of a perspektive view. A two – point perspective of an object. The construction perspective view from the outside with shade.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1) Knowledge - Understands the concept of using auxiliary planes in topographical, oblique and central projections. Knows construction of auxiliary views in topographical projections. Understands concept of construction of perspective projections and shadows in different architectural projects.
2) Skills – In practical tasks can use auxiliary planes in construction of different views. Students can plan fills and cuts of site terrain and construct the border lines. Student can construct buildings and its shadows on different landscape objects in central and orthogonal projections.
3) Competence – ability to apply professional knowledge of descriptive geometry and drawing skills in practical work and studies.
