Year 10 Graphics Architecture

The Sydney Opera House, the Eiffel Tower and the Burj Khalifa all started life as a great drawing.
Graphics Architecture focuses on applying and simulating design thinking to solve real-world problems. Students individually work through the design process. They use Virtual Reality technology, Computer-Aided Design and drawing to produce industry-standard architectural models that meet client needs and wants.
