Architectural Drawing For Beginners Short Course
Course description
Course overview
This is a technical drawing workshop which explores the basics of space and architecture. You will begin by carrying out surveys and research, then learn how to analyse your investigations with the aim of creating a design proposal.
Throughout the week, you will develop fundamental drawing skills so that you can employ the most appropriate medium for illustrating specific architectural ideas. An individual project will be developed by the end of the course which could be used to begin a portfolio for applying to study architecture.
Who this course is for
The course is aimed at all those interested in a future career in architecture, those who are new to the discipline and students who need a refresher in a creative and pleasant environment.
This is a summer-school only short course running only once a year. We encourage early bookings to secure your place.
