Year 10 Architectural Design
Course Outline
The study of Architectural Design will develop in students an understanding of the
significance of graphic communication and the techniques and technologies used to
convey technical and non-technical ideas and information. Students engage in both
manual and computer-based forms of image generation and manipulation. Architectural
design also develops students’ technical and visual literacy, equipping them for
participation in a technological world. The course contains a variety of elements including
the use of the 3D printer and architectural design software. In an age of global industry
and rapid technological development, where computer-aided design (CAD), computer-
aided manufacture (CAM), interactive graphic design (IGD) and multimedia applications
are widely used, the study of Architectural design is particularly relevant.
