What is it and why should I do it?

Architectural Design is designing the spaces we live and work in.

Students will design a sustainable residential house. You will learn about sustainable design features, sustainable building materials and sustainable construction methods for different environments. You will also learn how to develop technical drawings that communicate your ideas and concepts, using both hand and digital drawing methods.

Extension topics allow the students to develop  interior design concept drawings,and furniture design for your project

What will I do in class?

You will make design decisions about where your Sustainable House will be located, maybe by the sea, on a cliff top, in the snow, a forest setting or an urban city location. Your chosen location will direct the sustainable design features you will be designing with.

Students will develop an architectural floor plan, side view elevations and perspective drawings of your project. 

Students will also undertake a research investigation on contemporary Australian sustainable architectural practices.

Extension topics will enable the student to work on self-directed topics with a wide range of materials and techniques.
