What the college says

3D Design is an exciting, hands-on creative, coursework-based subject that integrates practical, critical and theoretical study. You will learn a wide range of 3D modelling and manufacturing techniques that will enable you to create high quality, professional standard architectural or product design models. These are known as ‘Threshold Concepts’. You will work with a range of materials including Acrylic, Plywood and Cardboard which can all be cut on our Laser Cutters. In addition, you will also learn and develop technical drawing techniques such as Isometric, Oblique, Perspective as well as 3D CAD modelling software such as SketchUp. Being able to analyse, evaluate and critique your own work as well as the work of others is an underpinning thread of the course. You will learn about famous architects from all over the world and their approach to design. These include Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, David Adjaye, Kazuyo Sejima, Jeanne Gang and many more. You will also learn about different design history and design movements such as Art Deco, Bauhaus and Modernism. At each stage, the course is designed to build on and extend skills, enabling learners to become more confident and independent in their practice. Students will enjoy opportunities to build on knowledge, skills and understanding of media and processes. The course allows you to develop an extensive range of skills and a comprehensive creative portfolio to take to interviews. Y13 is your opportunity to produce a project dr
