COURSE DESCRIPTION
Deakin’s Bachelor of Design (Architecture) is a path of discovery, exploring the creative possibilities of architectural design and its potential to make a positive impact on the built environment. Discover architectural ideas through cutting-edge content and develop your creativity. Gain a practical understanding of the built environment and its relationship with the community through meaningful and sustainable design, from houses to high-rise projects.
You will gain practical skills studying real-world projects in a studio environment, developing your ability to generate, analyse and communicate your ideas. You will learn to combine creative thinking with technical necessities and develop skills that enable you to examine and shape the places we inhabit. Gain work-ready skills in computer-aided design, drawing and digital fabrication.
Want to transform your ideas into a rewarding career?
Your learning space will be world class, with Deakin’s extensive a+b studio – an inspiring open-plan space that enables you to work collaboratively and develop your projects.
You will also have access to our purpose-built workshop. This is where 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers and traditional tools and machinery are all at hand for you to fabricate models and experiment with technology, materials and processes.
While producing design concepts, you will explore:
architectural history and philosophy
building science and the environment
construction technologies
computer-aided modelling
drawing and design process
model making
digital fabrications.
Enhancing your technical expertise, you will also collaborate with construction management students through our unique integrated learning approach – just as you will in the real-world. This ensures you graduate with the practical and applied experience that employers value.
