What you will learn

The complete basics of architecture and architectural design.

Description

Using a unique method, in this course you’ll learn the professional way to draw architectural drawings with a pencil; a foolproof technique for designing architectural space using the building section; a system for analysing a site; a method for drawing a site plan; and a way of organising clear floor plans using a grid.

You’ll follow along as I design a small pottery studio right from the earliest concepts through to completed plans, sections and elevations. The design project is located on a real site on a lake shore in Ireland. Each new step in the design process is introduced in clear, easy to follow stages and there are some simple tasks to complete which are guaranteed to develop your skills.

No prior experience or skills are required except an ability to use either a metric or imperial scale rule. You’ll need some A4 or 8½ x 11 paper, an HB pencil and a handful of colored pencils.

This course is heavily focused on a particular technique in architectural design: the use of the building section to develop ideas about space.

There are six tutorials in total. Each is short, sharp and to the point. The presentation is brisk and lively. No time is wasted.

The course is ideal for students in their first year of architecture school or for those considering taking architecture in college.

Super informative and really helpful to get a better understanding on how to start a concept for a project - as I think that is the hardest part!

The course content provided a step-by-step guide with many illustrations and advice, providing a very good introduction and background to thinking and designing like an Architect, very helpful for those intending to begin the study of architecture in university, using the small pottery studio on the lakeside of Ireland as a very good starting example for learning, with lines and shading drawings, plans, sections and elevations drawings, a site plan and complete sketch design. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing, and also very needed, I have been struggling in how to approach design during projects at school, but now I have a more efficient way of doing so. Thanks a lot!

Very good information to begin understanding the concepts and thinking of an architect. This course will allow me to begin and develop my architectural designs. Thank you!

Clear, with clean and simple directions. I was able to grasp the concepts covered, given a few concepts to dig further into, and the teacher was slightly playful to keep the energy of the tutorial going. I loved that I was able to play at whatever speed I needed.

The name of the course is "design like an architect", but it cover only very basic drawing technique, so it is not about designing or generating ideas at all, it is about how to sketch a set of Architectural drawings, and learning this will never makes anyone design like an architect. I appreciate the effort but the course has either to improve its content dramatically or change its name to be suitable with its contents.

Very informative on the drawing techniques and where to get inspiration. I was looking too much from an Engineering perspective, but this gave me a good insight into the architects mind, i.e. thinking what would be most fascinating to the client. The main reason for building any structure. Very good so far.

I was hoping to see how an Architect design it on a laptop apart from the sketches on pencil. The intro video is quite good with the computer finished disign however we did not see it coming throughout the course.

A bit more basic than I was expecting. I do like the practical approach and the to-the-point style of the videos.

It's been wonderful. I actually studied Building as an undergraduate but I want to further my career in building design and modelling. I've always loved architecture and design because of my ability to draw. This was an eye-opening process for me. An amazing job done Mr. Gary. Thanks so much. I look forward to more courses from your well of knowledge

Great class. I'm a junior architectural designer, and this course gave me an excellent start in my architectural design. I hope Mr. Miley makes videos about advanced architectural techniques.
