What is the difference between the Design & Construction (DC) and the Space Planning (SP) Course?

While DC focuses on design as well as space planning, the SP course concentrates primarily on the technical aspects of space throughout all projects. In SP, the design related classes are included as a bonus option, because a successful space planner should have a good grasp of design in order to create and maximize beautiful spaces. The 8 projects focus on the challenges of space planning within different settings and criteria. Additional space planning focused lectures are included.

What Prerequistes do you need for the course?

AutoCad or Revit are prerequsite for Space Planning

How do I know if this course is suitable for me?

The Space Planning course was developed for those that prefer the technical aspects of dividing up space more than the aesthetic side. If you enjoy the challenges of space more than the design side, (color, furniture and material selections etc.) then this course is for you.
