Waterfronts in major cities are a place of human activities, allowing the public to enjoy the edge between land and sea.  In Hong Kong, too often water frontage designs take a backseat to the economic need for reclamation, freeway expansion, transport stations, and private property development.  In this course, students will learn about the positive contribution of a well-conceived waterfront to the living hood of the cities’ dwellers through case studies, research on the historical development of waterfronts, site visits, and take an active role in the re-imaging of our waterfronts through discourse and design project.

Research found that urban people spent more than 80% of time inside buildings. Think about your daily activities, you live at home, you study in school, you read in library, you shop in mall, you eat in restaurant, and even you do exercise in gym. All these activities happen inside buildings.

Architects use drawings as a means of communication to the client before the actual buildings are constructed. Their representation must be concise and clear.

Sketch-up is an easy-to-use software to create 3D form and space from 2D drawings. In this course, you will be taught the basic functions of the software in creating the house of your dreams. Let your imagination go to explore your creative potentials while learning a popular tool used by architects and architecture students.
