Architecture
Designing Futures, Crafting Vision
Tailored to high school students interested in architecture, this course provides a foundational exploration of architectural elements, design principles, drawing techniques, digital tools, materials, and construction methods.
Students create floor plans, elevations, site plans, 3D renderings and other necessary documents that relate to building construction. By blending theory with hands-on projects, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the built environment. Additionally, students get hands-on experience with 3D modeling software like Revit, allowing them to craft intricate 3D models and visualize architectural ideas digitally. The hands-on projects aim to equip students with essential digital modeling skills and enhance creative problem-solving abilities in architectural design. Students develop practical skills and foster creativity to tackle architectural design challenges head-on.
