Since I was in school I have had a passion for representation and how as architects we can communicate our ideas through drawings.
For more than six years, Show It Better has a community of more than 500,000 thousand people from more than 150 countries. With over 4,500 online students that have taken previous online courses, we have deepened our passion for architecture and representation.
