Description

Online Course.

How will tomorrow’s built and landscaped environments look and feel? In these first few decades of the digital age, the planet’s leading architects have been discovering the creative potentials of on-screen design tools which behave very differently from pens, slide rules and paper.

In this fully online course, you will examine how emerging convergences of diverse technologies are influencing how architects aim to reinvent the way buildings look and feel – not only to answer humanity’s next challenges but to continue telling humanity’s stories through aesthetics.

Through reading, images, reflection, discussion, analysis and writing, you will learn how futuristic architects are styling tomorrow’s built and landscaped environments. And you’ll discover why 21st century architecture will look and feel radically different from the monuments of history.

NOTE: This course is conducted via the Omnium system (omnium.edu.au). Students will receive log in instructions via their UNSW email account prior to the commencement of the course.
