Course Details

A hands-on course that explores the world of British architectural designs through a series of practical workshops, group projects and landmark study trips.

Through practical projects and tutorials, develop an understanding of the design process and the importance of an ideas-based approach to your creative work. You will consider key aspects of spatial and 3D design including colour, shape, form, pattern and texture, fabric, finishes and presentation.
