The basics of architecture and architectural design

https://www.udemy.com/course/design-like-an-architect/

Using a unique method, in this course you’ll learn the professional way to draw architectural drawings with a pencil; a foolproof technique for designing architectural space using the building section; a system for analysing a site; a method for drawing a site plan; and a way of organising clear floor plans using a grid.

You’ll follow along as I design a small pottery studio right from the earliest concepts through to completed plans, sections and elevations. The design project is located on a real site on a lake shore in Ireland. Each new step in the design process is introduced in clear, easy to follow stages and there are some simple tasks to complete which are guaranteed to develop your skills.

No prior experience or skills are required except an ability to use either a metric or imperial scale rule. You’ll need some A4 or 8½ x 11 paper, an HB pencil and a handful of colored pencils.

This course is heavily focused on a particular technique in architectural design: the use of the building section to develop ideas about space.

There are six tutorials in total. Each is short, sharp and to the point. The presentation is brisk and lively. No time is wasted.

The course is ideal for students in their first year of architecture school or for those considering taking architecture in college.
