Bring your own unique concept for a new building to life with the skills, tools, and techniques of professional architects.
Architects are powerful people—they create the spaces, both indoor and outdoor, that we spend much of our lives in. Tap into that power as you consider functional design features from classical courtyards to modern lofts in environments from urban cityscapes to rural residences. Use T-squares, mechanical pencils, and scaling devices to draft plans and draw elevations as you design and envision a 3D-scale model. Collaborate with your friends at the drafting table and determine every aspect of exterior design while creating a building that truly captures your style and vision.
What you'll do
Measurements, Symbols + Floor Plans
Create your floor plans using proper architectural symbols for items such as stairs, windows, and doors.
Purpose + Functionality
Great design is never finished. Tackle spaces that need to change, from homes to public buildings, and learn to rethink your plans as the people and purposes they serve evolve.
Architectural Aesthetics
From modern to utilitarian, explore the architectural components of geometry, lines, and shadows, discovering your distinct design style.
3D Modeling
Bring your structural design into the real world as you build a scaled 3D model using architectural modeling materials, tools, and techniques.
