Course overview
The course introduces students to the representation of architecture and the built environment, including fundamental drawing principles, model-making techniques and architectural drafting conventions. Students explore different methods of communication and their relationship to the design process through sketching and orthographic projection, physical model-making, 3D drawing, composition and graphic layout, and basic rendering and computer-aided graphics. The course utilises workshop and studio formats to develop skills. This course assumes no prior experience in drawing.
