Introduction to Design Computing in a fast-paced one-week course which introduces the basics of digital drawing relevant to spatial design practices. The primary focus of this course is a series of workshops that introduce the basic tools in 2D and 3D design and draughting software (AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, SketchUp and InDesign). Each workshop builds on the tools from the previous workshop, developing a digital “workflow” from conceptual hand drawing to 2D drafted technical drawings and 2D and 3D digital renders. Students are actively involved during the workshops, will practice using digital drawing tools and apply these skills to draught and render a small landscape architectural design plan.
