(D) work independently;
(E) work collaboratively;
(F) research an architectural project;
(G) design and present an effective architectural product;
(H) present a final architectural product for critique;
(I) apply architectural lettering techniques;
(J) develop preliminary sketches of a residential plan
or nonresidential plan;
(K) demonstrate through drawings the development of
maximum efficiency of circulation within areas or rooms;
(L) develop a site plan using maximum orientation of
the building relative to views, sun, and wind direction;
(M) draw building designs and styles to ensure compatibility
between interior and exterior to enhance overall appearance;
(N) draw schematic site plans, floor plans, roof plans,
building elevations, sections, perspectives, and character sketches
using design development techniques;
(O) draw scaled wall thickness plans, interior elevations,
and sections;
(P) develop details, sections, floor and wall sections,
ceiling and roof sections, door and window sections, and other sections
as required;
(Q) assemble an architectural design in three dimensions;
(R) research the Green Building Rating System as defined
by the U.S. Green Building Council; and
(S) create a project demonstrating sustainable design
as it relates to architectural design as defined by the U.S. Green
Building Council.
