When approaching computer aided design, the drawing contents are
of secondary importance at the beginning; on the contrary, in the
first learning phase an overwhelming number of software related
terms and input requests have to be coped with. Only after this
phase has been completed, full concentration can be laid on
geometric and other superordinated problems. Based on the Living
Learning idea and the model of Theme-Centered Interaction, we have
developed a specific methodological course concept which enables a
rapid and efficient approach to CAD. Characteristic features of
the concept are the principle of a strong guidance and the method
of coloured drawing. A detailed script documents and explains the
design steps which have to be carried out for the creation of the
selected architecture examples. It forms the basis and the
guideline for passing through a 3-step course program: lecture,
exercise and task. The presented methods enable a large number of
students to pass on a maximum of syllabus in short time.
Keywords: Descriptive Geometry courses, architecture, Computer Aided Design.
MSC: 51N05.
