Deakin University’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. Students will discover architectural ideas through cutting-edge content, develop their creativity and 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.
Students will gain practical skills studying real-world projects in a studio environment and develop their ability to generate, analyze and communicate their ideas. They will learn to combine creative thinking with technical necessities and develop skills that enable them to examine and shape the places people inhabit. Gain work-ready skills in computer-aided design, drawing and digital fabrication.
Students will also have access to purpose-built workshop, where 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers and traditional tools and machinery are all at hand for them to fabricate models and experiment with technology, materials and processes.
While producing design concepts, students will explore:
- architectural history and philosophy
- building science and the environment
- construction technologies
- computer-aided modelling
- drawing and design process
- model making
- digital fabrications
