Description

The complexity of material usage represents a big challenge in architectural and engineering design and the overcoming of that challenge is a great advantage for those who achieve it. In this Build Project you will go through the process of Shop Drawings creation for the ACM scope of work and learn how the panels are sketched. Under the supervision of an experienced industry expert, you will be able to draw details for specific conditions of the building, recommend the solutions for better material usage and choose which systems are the best for the specific design. Your Project Leader will provide you with insight into panel fabrication process while giving you the concrete knowledge applicable in this always evolving industry. This will happen in an environment that stimulates the operations of a real team that creates Shop Drawings.
