Architectural Design is an introductory course for students interested in exploring the world of architecture. Through hands-on projects, students will learn key concepts in design, planning, and technical drawing. Using the same software as professional architects, Autodesk Revit, they’ll create floor plans, site layouts, elevations, and renderings focused on residential design. Along the way, students will also build skills in physical model making, project documentation, creative problem-solving, and presenting their ideas clearly to others.
