Introduction to Architectural Design
კურსის შესახებ
This 10-session informational and introductory course is designed for teenagers and individuals considering education or a career in architecture but who have not yet had direct experience with the field.
Rather than a traditional architectural training program, this short course serves as an introduction, helping participants gain a general understanding of architectural principles, spatial thinking, and the contemporary role of architecture. The course includes both theoretical and practical components; however, the practical activities are not fundamental or technical. Instead, they are designed to be flexible, interactive, and enriched with gamified elements.
The sessions will cover key aspects of traditional and modern architectural styles, urban concepts and issues, basic principles of architectural planning, and the relationship between architecture and everyday life. Participants will explore the significance of different spatial environments, receive visual materials, and engage in hands-on modeling and creative exercises to deepen their understanding.
