Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and structures. It includes both the process and product of planning, designing, and constructing. Architectural design usually addresses both reasonableness and cost, as well as function and aesthetics for the user.
Many careers require education beyond the associate degree. Students should work with their advisor to tailor course selections to align with their chosen transfer university. The transfer plan(s) on this page shows a tailored example for a university commonly chosen by Lee College students. However, students may choose to continue their education at any university.
Students will learn foundational knowledge of the conceptual, perceptual, and manual-skills necessary for two-dimensional and three-dimensional design. Basic drawing methods and tools for the study, methodology, and production of architectural drawings lay the foundation for this concentration. Students will develop the ability to see and interpret a variety of subjects using diverse materials and techniques.
