Architectural Basics Course

The main objective of this course is to teach traditional architectural drafting methods and lay a foundation for those who would then like to progress onto CAD, study further in architecture or produce better quality architetural type drawings. AutoCAD may also be introduced as part of the course but this will depend on each delegate and the progress they make with hand drafting. 

The course is made up of two days (you can do either or both) and is effectively a crash-course in architectural drafting. The Architect’s Pocket Book by Charlotte Baden-Powell is used as a text book and each delegate receives a copy. I you are interested, please email Mark Shepherd.
