Drawing for Design is an intense one-week course which develops an understanding of the representational modes used in landscape architecture and urban design. While there
is a focus on mapping, sections, perspective and collage, the course also touches on representational modes such as model-building, photography and layering. Students will
engage in landscape representation that considers large scale conditions and processes as well as detail design at a human scale. The ability to shift in scale, from the regional to the spatial, is achieved through multi-faceted drawing techniques and hybridised approaches to design drawing conventions. 

As well as acquiring skills and becoming acquainted with design processes in studio, Drawing for Design will help students prepare a portfolio that can be used to apply for design programmes such as the Master of Urban Design (MUD) programme at UCT. Drawing for Design can also be taken by anyonewanting to develop these skills (and earn CPD points).
