3D Architecture combines fun experimentation and exploration with engaging learning experiences. In addition, students acquire an understanding of the way things are built and learn to core fundamentals of architecture and residential community planning.
This course utilizes The Architecture Handbook: A Student Guide to Understanding Buildings, developed and published by the Chicago Architecture Foundation. Students explore critical architectural concepts throughout 6 projects based on architectural drawings. Students investigate how a home is located on its block, how it sits on its site, how and why the rooms are arranged, why a home looks the way it does, and how homes are constructed. They then recreate these principles by constructing 3D VR homes and neighborhoods.
This course teaches both the fundamentals of architectural design and technical drawing. Students also build knowledge and gain skills through group design projects, sketching, model-making, mapping, research, critical thinking, problem solving, and class presentations.
Throughout each course topic, students also compare and contrast their own home with the F10 House and 10 famous contemporary and historic homes in the US and around the world, such as Fallingwater designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe, and the Magney House by Glenn Murcutt.
Students also learn how to build and manipulate objects in EduKaydia, our online 3D learning world. Students learn how to create objects, build simple structures, add commands and execute actions. Students create their own student housing sector to showcase their skills as part of the course completion.
