PROGRAMME PURPOSE
This short learning programme is designed for all architectural professionals, interior designers, students and anyone who
wants to improve their hand-drawing skills to design and present spatial design projects.
The course is presented in bite-sized videos by Michael Borgström, an established creative artist and designer, a renowned
and beloved architectural educator, and founder member of the firm Archilab, known for their award-winning, leading-
edge architecture that is sensitive, stimulating, and sustainable.
In this short learning programme, Michael guides you through his own process and practice of hand-drawing and
illustrates ways in which you can develop and improve your artistic licence. You are introduced to the necessary tools, the
fundamentals of observation drawing, adding human figures, trees, and cars to your architectural presentation, creating
that x-factor drawing in perspective and doing layouts in a low-tech, cost effective manner.

WHY CHOOSE THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND SPATIAL DESIGN?
The School of Architecture and Spatial Design (SoASD) offers bold and creative learning experiences in architecture,
interior design and spatial design. It is now offering short learning programmes to a diverse audience, including school-
leavers and practitioners. The school has submitted two entry-level qualifications to the Council on Higher Education and
is awaiting accreditation. The qualifications are endorsed by the South African Council for the Architectural Profession
and the African Institute of the Interior Design Professions respectively.
We interact daily with places and spaces – from a garden to a gallery; a dining room to a dance club; a sandpit to a
city square. The disciplines of architecture and spatial design bring quality and renewal to the lives of individuals and
communities. Our students question, explore, test ideas in real-world contexts and carefully consider the impact of design
on society and the planet, our well-being and the long-term health and sustainability of our planet.
Students at the School of Architecture and Spatial Design will be encouraged to embrace and apply systems thinking,
which will contribute to them becoming well-rounded, progressive citizens who can play a part in the well-being of all in
society.
