Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization and take it to the next level? Bring CAPFO students to be your student-consultants, in a project experience. Students will work on a main project during the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.


This course aims to introduce the student to solving urban planning problems for tiny houses and high energy performance and sustainable housing planning. Students use various tools of architectural representation including, freehand drawing on digital tablet, digital drawing using software (REVIT) and 2d and 3d scanner, and 2d large format printer and 3d digital model. Other tools used include a 3d digitizer (FARO), infrared camera, an air infiltration verification system and drones to integrate the projects in a real context.
