Home Design, A Yestermorrow Design/Build School Online Course, 7 Sessions 4-7 pm, Starting January 17
Event Description
Home Design (Online)
This course teaches students how to design a home and communicate that design through floor plans, sections, elevations, and a scale model. Through conversation, lectures, and presentations we explore such issues as site planning, climatic design, sustainability, building layout, structural principles, materials, energy conservation, solar strategies, and what makes a building a beautiful expression of its occupant's lifestyle. The class virtually tours homes to view original, creative, and traditional design concepts. Students learn the fundamentals of a design process that they can apply to their individual projects. This class is perfect for those interested in new home construction, remodeling or renovation, or exploring a new career.
This course will meet on Wednesday evenings from 4-7pm ET from for a total of seven (7) 3-hour sessions.
