Architecture + Environmental Design
Through hands-on model making, mapping, critical analysis, and drawing techniques, the students honed their creative problem-solving skills. The class concluded with a final architectural design project where the students were asked to deploy their new abilities - a new state-of-the-art Maritime Museum for the city of Vancouver.
