Week 3: Mastering the Basics of Architectural Drawing

Workshop description

This workshop will cover essential drawing skills for architects, starting with the basics, such as drawing accurate lines and establishing line hierarchy.

We’ll also explore the various types of 2D and 3D drawings architects create, along with the methods used to produce them. But remember these ‘rules’ are there to be broken once learned!
