Designers of the Future

Brick by Brick is a design lab. The group at Mater love using Sketchup to invent new landscapes, cityscapes, architectures. All these things are called into question and made dynamic using their imaginations.

Temra's Sketchup project, Girl Power

Architecture and entrepreneurship come together using Sketchup - Temra imagines a pool house and a van with her business logo on it.

Mater Academy creates new worlds in Sketchup

Moving on from our 3d models of cityscapes, constructed out of cardboard, we enter the realm of 3D drafting, via Sketchup, a free download from Google. Here's what Brian and Nicolas from Mater Academy are working on. Once the sketchup model is built, and scenes are added, an animation file is exported to iMovie, where the boys can add a sound track and other video effects - a multimedia experience of a floating theme park.
