Requirements

Drawing skills (optional): Prior experience with sketching or drawing can be helpful, but it's not always mandatory. The course description mentions learning to translate ideas into sketches, so some basic drawing skills could be advantageous. However, the course itself might introduce fundamental drawing techniques.

Software familiarity (optional): Some introductory architecture programs might require familiarity with basic 2D or 3D design software. However, this could also be introduced within the course itself.

Basic math skills: Understanding of geometry and spatial reasoning would be beneficial for grasping design concepts and working with drawings.
