What is the CPD inUrban Design Representation?
Urban Design Representation is a 5-module course
aimed at teaching the basics of five sotware packages:
AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
The CPD in Urban Design Representation is an intensive learning experience ofered by the Department of Architecture at the University of Strathclyde and tailored for planning and design professionals with little or no experience with graphics and representation sotware.
It is a 5-module course aimed at teaching the basic of five design software packages: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, one for each module. Each will focus on guidance on interface and commands and practical examples in Urban Design. This includes short exercises consolidating achieved knowledge on topics covered in class, which can be carried out in class during teaching hours as well as at home and then discussed with tutors for informal feedback sessions, in class or via email. The course will cover:
the role of computer design sotware in representing ideas;
basics of design representation and introductory exercises to relevant
sotware package;
insights on how to combine sotwares in the representation process and on additional plugins to use at home to boost your results;
practical examples of how to best represent design proposals.
With us you will learn to visualise ideas and proposals: from image editing, to diagrams, from concept sketches to 3D modelling. You will have a dedicated account with access to sotware and handouts, with tutors guiding you every step of the way.

We have developed our Urban Design Representation course over many years, taking on feedback from students and professionals to give you the best learning experience.
The Urban Design Studies Unit is an internationally recognised teaching and research unit in the areas of urban design and sustainable development. Over the years we have helped many students and professionals with little or no design background to build and improve their visual representation techniques... and we are confident you will benefit immensely from it too!
