The Digital Media course at Tulane University in New Orleans equips students with digital drawing skills to produce detailed 2D and 3D architectural drawings.

The Digital Media Course at Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment introduces digital tools and techniques for their application in architectural production.

The primary objective is to encourage students to develop a drawing practice that facilitates critical thinking, testing of design ideas and effective communication.

Each week will explore fundamental concepts in architectural representation, including a range of two- and three-dimensional media and workflows.

Focusing on digital drawing techniques, students will work through orthographic (plan, section, elevation), axonometric and perspective projection drawings.

Critical perspectives and technique development will be developed through lectures, demonstrations, workshops and pin-ups.
