Learn to Design in 3D!
Designing Play Spaces is designed to dive into the world of 3D Design and follows a journey that begins with inspiration and ends with an exciting project-based design activity. The final project provides the opportunity to combine design thinking, 3D modeling skills, and creativity as you design and build (with software) a public play space of your choice. You will begin the course by discovering the different types of architect-designer roles, and as the course progresses you will learn the skills to help you build virtual spaces inspired by your own ideas and of the designs that inspire them.
