ARCHITECTURESKILLLED TRADES AND TECHNICAL SCIENCES

Made possible by:

Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Interior Design
This program focuses on the collaboration between professionals in the world of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Interior Design. Students will develop a hypothetical project through the design process culminating in a presentation in week four. Each week will emphasize a different phase in the design process that addresses issues of landscape, interior, and architectural design. The goal is to have fun designing a unique mixed use project in Denver while learning about the design process. / /
