NOTE: Date updated from 2/17 to 2/24. We're back to LINK's usual schedule of 10am-1:30pm (different from the last few workshops).

Architects move back and forth between creating in 2D and 3D space in order to convey their ideas. In this workshop, we'll learn essential design skills as we work in groups to develop technical drawings, build physical models, and present our designs!
