Lesson 1 of 5 Interior Concept Design
In this lesson you will learn the principles of architecture and concept design. From there, you will choose one of three simulated film industry briefs and create your first design sketches.
Simple Plan and Section Homework
Create a plan and section sketch for your dream bedroom, not constrained by real-world limitations or architectural style. Let this be your chance to experiment with dynamic shapes, interesting layouts and balanced object placement. This shouldn’t be the space you’re planning to work on for the rest of the course, this homework is purely meant to get you used to the various concepts and let you freely explore the possibilities available.
Design Response Homework
Once you’ve selected which brief you will follow for the remainder of the course, take some time to digest the brief’s story and requirements. Then sketch out a set of very rough plan and section drawings and choose your favorites from these to work from going forward.
