Design A Home

Course Overview: 

A project-based workshop where students get to design a Home for their Family. Students will apply Design Thinking principles to better understand the needs, preferences, and challenges of the people they are designing for and be introduced to the basics of space planning for a home.

Course Content: 

They will begin by planning their designs in 2D, then translate their ideas into 3D models with thoughtful consideration for architectural scale, light, ventilation, views, and communal landscape areas. Along the way, students will be introduced to the basics of space planning and learn fundamental model-making skills, creatively transforming everyday materials into their very own home prototypes.

Every child's creation will be unique, reflecting their family's specific needs and aspirations. This hands-on workshop encourages critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, while providing a meaningful and fun introduction to real-world design and architecture.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Project-Based Learning allows students to apply their knowledge and skills in a practical and meaningful way.
• Design Thinking process applied in the project allowing students to empathise with users, define problems, and generate ideas to create their home prototype.
• Our open studio environment promotes cross-learning, allowing students to learn from one another as everyone's design outcome is different. The open sharing session builds confidence as one shares their design ideas and creations.
