This course develops skills in diagram thinking and architectural storytelling through motion. Participants will learn how to transform ideas into structured visual narratives using storyboarding techniques and conceptual diagramming. The curriculum covers form-in-motion development, environmental diagrams, and multiple presentation styles, including frame-by-frame sequences, video, and conceptual slides. Students will also practice crafting clear visuals from models and explore techniques for animating architecture, concluding with a critique and showcase of their animated diagram projects.
