You will develop the ability to read and produce architectural drawings, analyse sites, and apply human-scale ergonomics to spatial layouts. The course covers building materials, structural systems, mechanical and electrical integration, and environmental design strategies. You will also work through the full design process, from writing a brief to presenting a developed scheme. By the end, you will have practical knowledge of sustainable design, digital tools including BIM, and the professional frameworks that govern real architectural projects.
