Design a Home: 3-day Camp (11-16yo) Apr

In this immersive 3-day workshop, students will get to experience the design process of a project from scratch where the steps of Design Thinking methodology are introduced to understand and define the needs and challenges of who they are designing for. They will begin their preliminary design with sketches before building up their ideas in 3D.

Sketch Ideas

Formulate design brief for their house and building up the design

Students will translate their 2D planning to 3D model with consideration for architectural scale, light, ventilation, views and communal landscape areas in their design.

Learn model making techniques to build design from scratch

At the completion of their home prototype, students will be introduced to tools and tips to graphically layout their presentation board ready for their Design Crit, a simulated presentation format common to architecture students.

Testimonials

"I have enjoyed the 3-day programme very much! The instructors were good and patient. I gained practical experience that really helped me to decide on taking up architecture as a uni major. I would highly recommend the programme to any students interested to learn more about architecture." Jann

"The 3-day programme was fun and educational on how architects practice and what they do, and keeping it interesting and engaging for the students. The building of the model was fun and educational as it made me think about how to separate private and public spaces in a home as well as accessibility and functionality of spaces." Javien
