As civil engineers we are regularly required to work in teams with architects. This course will teach engineers about the design process and how we can work together with architects to realise our collective vision when designing buildings. It will teach students the “language” of architecture. It will build their confidence in applying architectural principles to real design problems.
Show a passion and excitement for the built environment and a specific interest in a particular architect, architectural style, movement, material or technique.
