1. Welcome Cougars! Conant High School CAD students

2. Agenda/Topics to Be Covered later on…..but first!  Construction updates  CAD lab access  Computer use policies  Bathroom policies  Overview of course  Other resources  Required class work or homework

3. History of Drafting  Cave drawings Some of the oldest forms of communications. They were used to convey thoughts and ideas to withstand the test of time to let people know about their way of life. WHY ARE WE HERE!!!!!

4. History of Drafting 15 th century As an engineer, Leonardo conceived ideas vastly ahead of his own time, conceptualizing a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, and the double hull, and outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime,[4] but some of his smaller inventions such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire entered the world of manufacturing unheralded. As a scientist, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics. helicoptertanksolar power calculatordouble hullplate tectonics[4]anatomycivil engineeringoptics hydrodynamics

5. Great Architects Form should meet some sort of function! ? ? ? The Baker House MIT campus, Cambridge, Massachusetts 1946 -1949 Alvar Aalto, architect The curved S-shape of the brick Baker Dormitory optimizes views of the Charles River. Although the building also overlooks a busy street, rooms remain relatively quiet because the windows face the traffic at a diagonal.

6. Great Architects Architecture is to make us know and remember who we are. Author: Sir Geoffrey JellicoeSir Geoffrey Jellicoe Bruce Graham is considered one of America's leading designers of high- buildings. Although he never studied with Mies van der Rohe, he has been instrumental in applying "Miesian" ideas to Chicago's skyscrapers. Most significantly, Graham used the tubular frame principle for several important buildings. After the 1970s, America began to look less favorably on stark architecture in the Mies van der Rohe style. Graham's designs became more complex with greater detail. Bruce Graham has served as a general partner at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill for most of his career. He received his architecture degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1948, and worked briefly for the firm of Holabird and Roche.

7. Who is this guy? Here is a hint!

8. Sears Tower

9. Mies or Miesian Architecture

10. Less is More!!!!!!!! Mies, like many of his post World War I contemporaries,World War I sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern times just as Classical and Gothic did for their own eras. He created an influential Twentieth-Century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity.

11. Designer, Engineer or Architect? Designers-Not working drawings. Typically focus on such things like balance and asthethics. Leonardo Davinci Architect-Form equals functionality. Example Alvar Aalto Baker house, Architecture Bruce Graham Sears Tower. Today we work in teams to develop the best of both worlds. Functionality of Architecture and the aesthetics of design components.
