It develops your capacity to design like an Architect and appreciate the complex relationship between the built environment and our modern world. You will explore the full process of design, investigating past, present and future developments in architecture, and developing knowledge and understanding of materials and processes. You will gain skills in concept development, 3D experimentation, creating physical models and producing industry-standard working drawings and computer-generated visualisations. Activities include practical workshops, idea generation approaches and theoretical studies.
