Course description

This course introduces principles and practices of architectural visual communication, emphasizing the interplay between visual communication theory, technical representation, and creative expression. Students investigate how spatial concepts, form, and scale translate into visual language through analogue and digital mediums. The curriculum integrates foundational design thinking and communication with exploration of tools ranging from sketching to digital drawing and AI-assisted visualization platforms. This course fosters a critical understanding of visual communication as a bridge between conceptual ideas and built environments, preparing students to engage with evolving tools and methodologies in architectural practice.
