Tools and Communication in Architecture 2:2 3 credits

About the course

The course explores advanced and hybrid methods of architectural representation that combine analogue and digital processes. Students work with design, surveying, and fabrication tools as part of an expanded representational practice, connecting experimentation with communication and design. Through mapping, modelling, and visualization, architectural ideas are situated within spatial, material, and environmental frameworks. Students are introduced to Building Information Modelling (BIM) to support the design process and generate building documents.
