Design Requirements:
The design requirements for this course will be stated in the co-requisite course DFT265, Architectural
Practice and Planning. The content of each course will be coordinated so that the design and planning
will be in progress in DFT265 while you are considering the structural aspects in this course. As you
then proceed to complete the working drawings in this course, you will be considering related
architectural practices in DFT265.
