TThe aim of this course is to equip landscape architecture students with fundamental technical drawing skills in a two-dimensional digital design environment (AutoCAD) and to enable them to produce scaled, well-organized, and technically standardized plans, sections, and elevations related to landscape projects. Within the scope of the course, students learn the basic CAD interface and drawing commands, and develop competencies in expressing design decisions in a digital environment, editing drawings, performing dimensioning, managing layers, and creating layout sheets. In addition, students gain basic digital representation skills for project presentation by expressing landscape design elements (both softscape and hardscape components) in a symbolic and technical manner

LThis course serves as an introduction to the production of two-dimensional technical drawings using AutoCAD software. The content begins with the role and significance of CAD programs in landscape architecture and continues with an introduction to the basic drawing environment and user interface. Students progressively learn and apply core command groups such as Draw, Modify, Edit, View, Insert, Tools, and Dimension through practical exercises. Throughout the course, fundamental geometric drawing, editing and transformation operations, layer management, block and symbol usage, dimensioning, and technical drafting standards are taught and applied to landscape plan drawings. The course establishes the foundation for students’ ability to produce technical drawings in a digital environment, develop visual communication skills, and present landscape projects in accordance with professional standards.The course is evaluated through 1 midterm exam (20%), 2 quizzes (20%), and a final exam (60%).Students retaking the course are required to complete all assignments, class participation/performance activities, and exams again, in accordance with the course's current assessment structure.
