This course equips you with the essential tools and workflow to communicate urban design ideas clearly, giving you a strong foundation for concept and masterplanning work.

Gradually move from simple 2D concept diagrams into 3D massing strategy and detailed street level drawing through progressively designed exercises.

Learn how to use lineweight, colour, and layering to create urban design diagrams that communicate your strategy clearly and confidently.

- Anatomy of a strong concept diagram: hierarchy, arrows, annotation
- Diagramming design moves (connectivity, green infrastructure, land use)
- Lineweight techniques for clarity and depth
- Using symbols and icons from the Vector Library
- Colour theory for diagrams: guiding the eye without overwhelming it

- Building simple massing blocks in SketchUp
- Exporting clean line work into Illustrator
- Showing density, typology, and height variation clearly
- Diagramming tools, arrows, text etc to show ideation
- Layering strategy: ground plane, blocks, context, callouts
- Adding people, trees, and shadow for scale and readability

- Setting up scale and proportion correctly
- Building up layers: buildings, street furniture, vegetation, people
- Rendering materiality with flat colour and simple texture
- Showing movement and activity to bring the section to life
- Annotating sections for planning and client presentations
