Architectural Composition 101

Architectural composition is where the architectural thinking starts getting translated into drawings and future designs. So it is theory and architectural principles expressed into raw creative ideas and then brought to a stable form where you can present them to the world. How many times you got an original idea, but when you put it on paper it ended up looking mediocre and you lost self confidence in your skills because of that.

Did you ever wonder how to make all your crazy organic-shaped, blobitecture, ‘zaha hadid' design ideas end up looking like real buildings. What you will learn in this course: How to draw all the simple box perspectievs that will give you the fundamental of understanding architectural drawing and how to draw everything in composition.

Cube and prism house as practice for you detailing in freehand sketching and that will set up a solid base for future conceptual work.

Simple volumes composition - apply what you learned in the previous lesson in your first proper abstract architectural composition.

How to add even more drawing detailing via drawing a real objects composition (this will give you a core feeling about what architectural composition is and how to get it right even when you are using boring day-to-day objects).
