ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
– Hoover High School

Grade 11 – Architecture and Design I Grade 12 – Architecture and Design II

Architecture and Design I: Fee $30.00
This Architecture and Design program concentrates on developing specific skills needed to prepare students for future education in the fields of Architecture and Designs (residential and commercial structures), Interior Design (redesign), or Industrial Design (designing various consumer products and furniture.) No previous art, mechanical drawing. Or shop experience is necessary to enroll. All skills will be taught, demonstrated, practiced, and mastered in the classroom setting.

Architecture and Design II: Fee Approximately $70.00 and $20.00 Skills USA Fee
This senior program provides three periods daily of additional learning experiences in architecture and design areas. Students who have demonstrated developed skills and have their instructor’s approval may be placed in an early placement workstation under the supervision of a highly trained supervisor during the second semester if a position is available. Second year students will also learn basic design techniques and concepts by completing instructor assigned projects. They will then use these skills and choose many of their own projects to complete throughout the rest of the year. By the time students complete the Architecture and Design course, they will also have put together a portfolio of their work to aid in the college application and scholarship process.
