About

In this 6-week course, we’ll meet once a week to explore the exciting world of architecture and interior design. Each session will focus on a different theme, ranging from the fundamentals of design and space planning to color theory, historical styles, and sustainability. Learners will engage through creative exercises, guided discussions, and design challenges, using their imagination to develop original ideas. By the end of the course, students will have a strong understanding of how architecture and interiors shape our world, along with a small collection of their creative concepts.

View Profile

Hello! I'm an online high schooler who aspires to be an architect and author! During my free time, I enjoy designing homes on an online software game, or reading books! I'm fond of many genres of books, but my all-time favorite is "White Nights" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Due to books, I've been able to live thousands of lives, and these aren't just mere escapes from reality; it's an addition to life.
