This course complements the Architecture I course and offers greater insight into the mind and world of spatial and urban design. Students are introduced to design methods and technical skills, leading to enhanced 3-dimensional thinking and analysis. Projects will range from domestic to commercial architecture and interiors. Students will be
able to apply their design and visualization skills to design briefs taking an empathetic approach, producing quality illustrations, designs, models and prototypes, using traditional and digital visual communication techniques. The course will provide students with the skills to prepare a college application platform if they wish to pursue a career in architecture, product design, and other art and design courses.
The Architecture course will enable the student to:
- Use a wide range of visual communication techniques, with reading and understanding of technical drawings and constructing perspective drawings.
- Enhance 3D digital modeling and CAD/CAM being essential elements in the design and visual communication of conceptual images and models, which fulfill a design brief.
- Present and visualize techniques for client-based briefs.
- Develop modeling techniques and workshop skills, using a variety of materials, tools, and equipment.
- Expand on abstract conceptual design and modeling, referencing existing architects & designers.
