Notes

Special Topics courses cannot carry CC designations

Section Description

The course focuses on integrating traditional vector drafting with digital generative technologies used in landscape design. Key topics include foundational 2D drafting (plans, elevations, and sections); dynamic block development; site plan generation; planting design; and precise grading contours, paired with AI-driven site analysis, multi-scalar visual rendering, and generative spatial exploration.

Section Expectation

1. To use AutoCAD to create site plans and construction documents.
2. Create site plans, define line weights, set dimension standards, and design dynamic blocks using AutoCAD for landscape architecture and hardscape projects.
3. Use Generative AI for mood boards, design iterations, and visual renderings at different scales.
4. Integrate AI-Assisted site analysis.
5. Develop hybrid design pipelines that integrate vector precision from CAD files with AI image-to-image workflows, enhancing design refinement and client communication.
