Architectural Design

Ākonga will produce creative design ideas. They will learn visual communication skills and techniques, such as drawing, drafting, 3D modelling and 3D rendering. This enables students to discover how to give form and expression to their ideas.

Ākonga will experiment, develop, respond to feedback, and reflect on their design thinking to improve and refine their ideas that they create. This course will encompass ideation, exploration, progression, and communication of design ideas into potential outcomes within the areas of spatial and architectural design.

This course prepares ākonga for Level 1 Architectural Design at NCEA Level 1 and leads pathways at university level in the areas of construction, engineering, interior design, landscape design, architecture, and urban planning and many trade based qualifications.
