Activity Title:

DESIGNING CREATIVELY WITH CURVES

Description

Designing Creatively with Curves is your starting point: making designing sculptural buildings with straights and curves possible and accessible!

This is an exciting and interactive live-online architectural course on designing, documenting and constructing sculptural buildings made up of flat, singly-curved and doubly-curved surfaces. You will learn to identify complex surfaces, to understand their geometry and to detail them.

Your clients will love your curved aesthetic, and contractors will know exactly what to do.

Join Keith Struthers for a 6-week program, full of creativity, inspiration, model making and self-reflection.

“Designing with Curves has expanded my creative process and deepened my understanding of expressive design. The course strengthened my ability to combine creativity, human sensitivity, technical precision in design, the importance of communication and overall reintroducing a revived layer of fun back into design!”

Activity Title:

DESIGNING ELEGANT PROPORTIONS

Description

Elegant proportions are everywhere: nature, buildings and our own bodies.

They make life worth living for.

As there is lawfulness in musical intervals, there is lawfulness in the proportions of beautiful buildings. Refined proportions are not random. Without a deeper understanding it's guessing. You can significantly enhance your designs using the principles of proportioning. Throughout history all great architects and painters used different proportioning systems. Life can become a lot more interesting than a grid!

This 4-week online course will combine mathematical principles and exercises to enhance your design process and tune your intuition when it comes to aesthetics.

We will be working with a range of proportioning systems: Cubit, Fractals, Musical Proportions, Root Proportions, Golden Section and more.

It’s different from any other course you’ve done: it's mentally engaging, creative, out of the box, and you'll be making models, working on real projects, sharing with fellow designers and taking part in open discussions.

“Attending the Proportions “Experience” has been a challenge I've truly loved. Keith has opened up a world of possibilities for dreaming of and designing harmonious living spaces with all the tools to use. I highly recommend this compelling course.”
