    About This Course

    If you're new to design, it's hard to know where to start. Should you go into architecture, interiors or landscape? Which software matters? And where does AI fit in? This course answers those questions in seven weeks. You'll start with how designers actually think, then learn to draw in AutoCAD and model in SketchUp. After that you'll spend a week each experiencing architecture, interior design and landscape design, so you can see what each field involves before you commit to one. AI comes in along the way, and in the final week you'll use it to develop and visualise your own mini project. You'll choose your project space early in the course and build on it week by week, so by the end you'll have something real to show.
