Architectural Studio Design

Year 9 students had to design a studio for “Kids Under Cover” that showed its interior and exterior within an environment. They applied architectural drawing conventions to both manual and digital drawings. The studio had to suit a sixteen-year-old and was to be no larger than 18 square metres. The digital work was created using SketchUp for Schools.

Unit 3 Design Industry Practice

As part of the Visual Communication Design Unit 3 course, students investigate how the design process is applied in industry to create visual communications. 

Bridie Skinner, the Alumni Program Coordinator at GEC was able to arrange a video session with Bekk Crombie, a former GEC student, and Year 12 Visual Communication Design students.

Bekk, an architect in WA, gave students an insight into practices used to support collaboration between architects, specialists and clients when designing and producing buildings. She shared with the students her journey since graduating from Glen Eira College. Bekk was generous with her time in answering student questions and showing examples of her work. I thank both Bridie and Bekk for their time.
