Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to enable students to learn the basic technical drawing tools and principles used in landscape architectural project and presentation processes, including line work, lettering, scale, dimensioning, projection, plan, section, elevation, and basic detail drawing, and to represent plant and structural elements of landscape spaces accurately, proportionally, legibly, and in accordance with professional standards through two-dimensional technical drawing.

Course Content

The importance of technical drawing in landscape architecture education and professional project production; use of technical drawing tools and equipment; line types, lettering, and sheet layout; geometric drawing exercises; principles of scale and dimensioning; projection and orthographic projection methods; plan, section, elevation, and basic detail drawings; graphic representation of plant and structural landscape elements; application of technical drawing knowledge in landscape architectural project and presentation works. The in-term evaluation consists of class participation/performance, assignments, and the midterm exam, amounting to a total of 40%. The end-of-term evaluation is based on the final exam (60%). Students retaking the course are required to complete all assignments, participation/performance activities, and exams again, in accordance with the current assessment structure of the course.
