Shape the Skyline: VCAD's Architectural Design Technology Program Gets a Major

VCAD recently transformed our Architectural Design Technology Program to equip aspiring designers with the skills and knowledge to thrive in the ever-evolving world of architecture. 

A Program Built for Innovation: Unique Additions to the Updated Architectural Design Technology Program 

This updated Architectural Design Technology Program delves deep into the exciting world of modern architecture, equipping you with the technical skills, creative vision, and cutting-edge knowledge to become a leader in the field. Here's what you can expect: 

• Double Down on Technology: We're adding a second Revit class, allowing for faster and deeper immersion in this essential software. This proficiency will seamlessly integrate with other classes, providing a holistic understanding of the design workflow. 

• Consolidated Theory & Streamlined Studio: Two theory classes are merging into one, creating space for even more valuable content. This consolidated knowledge base will then be reinforced through practical application in enhanced Studio classes. 

• Capstone Challenge: Unleash your creativity in a brand-new Capstone Term. This immersive experience will see you tackle a large-scale project, integrating skills learned across all your classes. Collaboration and problem-solving will be key as you bring your vision to life. 

• Inclusionary Terminology: We've updated all learning materials, including PowerPoints, assignments, and activities, with the latest industry terminology. This ensures you're speaking the language of success. 

• Model Making Mastery: In response to the challenges of virtual site visits, we're introducing a Model Making Class. This hands-on course will combine sculpture, building science, drawing, and detailed creation, fostering a deeper understanding of building sites – a crucial skill increasingly required by clients and contractors who can no longer accommodate large student groups on location. 

• Business Savvy: Gain a competitive edge with a second Business Class. This class equips you with the business acumen architects need to navigate the professional world, allowing you to hit the ground running after graduation.
