Level 1 Architecture and Industrial Design 101

During this course you will work on an architectural and an industrial design project. In doing both you will develop a much broader skills set and understanding of each field; as designers from different fields often collaborate with each other in industry, as well as other specialist such as structural engineers and scientists. It is essentail to be able to understand how each communicates through drawings and understand the different persepctives they each bring to a project.

(Then at Level 2 you can choose which field you would like to specialise in.)             

                     Architecture is the design of buildings.

                                Industrial design is the design of products.

This is a creative design course.  

In this course students will work on both an architectural and an industrial design project. 

Students will learn to:

• Use the design process to resolve a design brief
• Develop their freehand sketching skills
• Develop their rendering skills (use of colour to represent materials and light)
• Extend their use of design language to annotate and evaluate their own design ideas
• Use modelling techniques to generate and explore design ideas 
• Communicate their ideas to others
• Model making

This course is for students that like to draw, and use both analytical and creative thinking skills.
