In this course, we're going to explore the ins and outs of creating buildings right from the ground up, in this course learn all the small but important stuff, like choosing the right materials, putting them together correctly, and figuring out how much everything will cost. From coming up with the initial idea to turning it into a real- life building, it cover every step of the process, by the end of the process at create detailed plans and documents that builder can use to bring our designs to life. This course is all about giving us the skills and confidencee to jump into real building projects with both feet.

Design Intent
How can the integration of vaults, arch walls, and aerial bridges create a seamless spatial connectivity within a community center, fostering a sense of natural flow and interaction while effectively merging the surrounding landscape into the built environment?
Spatial Intent:
The concept of thoroughfare, the spatial connectivity through the strategic integration of vaults and arch walls, this element not only defines the space but also contributes to a comprehensive sense of enclosure and openness. Additionally, of aerial bridge enhances the connectivity to the programme/space creating a cohesive experience. With a series of arched walls that serve as both the entry point from the road and provide hawking space, while also walls functioning as storage spaces. Merge the surrounding landscape seamlessly into the space, creating a natural flowing experience through the space around it.
