This class is intended for students who aim to become specialists in environmental design, focusing on architectural design, urban design, and landscape design, and is positioned as the first course such students should take. The core of SFC's architectural design, urban design, and landscape design is the design practice classes such as "Design Studio". In principle, only students who have already taken "Basic Digital Design" or "Basic Design Studio" are eligible to take the three "Design Studio" advanced courses. Therefore, it is advisable to take this class as early as possible in the school year, as the knowledge and skills acquired in this class will be essential for students to take more specialized environmental design classes in the future. It is also recommended that students who wish to learn digital skills such as architectural 3D modeling, drawing and perspective creation in more detail take "Basics of Architectural Computer-Aided Design(CAD)" at the same time.
