Aims
To introduce methods of architectural and spatial analysis and of the interpretation of ideas which underpin the creation of architectural space and composition. To develop the fundamental skills of architectural drawing in a range of media, utilising architectural conventions. To engage in the fundamentals of analysis of architectural design through an understanding of space, light and order. To introduce the nature of construction and an understanding of construction materials. To introduce and formalise a programme of self-learning and key skills for the student.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate analytical skills enabling the understanding of the design of buildings.
2.
Explain the cultural, social and intellectual histories, theories and technologies that influence the design of buildings.
3.
Create orthographic architectural drawings with the relevant architectural conventions.
4.
Discuss a range of building materials and their use in buildings.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Students are required to examine the thematic ideas and physical nature of high quality buildings through history and in so doing to begin to grasp the notion of 'place'. Studio workshops in orthographic drawings, 3D representational techniques, architectural conventions, and sketching take place. The focus of the module is upon developing fundamental skills in reading buildings and creating drawings and consequently studio based work through workshops and tutorials forms the core of the syllabus.

Module Overview:
This module will introduce you to methods of architectural and spatial analysis, alongside the interpretation of ideas which underpin the creation of architectural space and composition. You will develop the fundamental skills of architectural drawing in a range of media, utilising architectural conventions. This will help you to engage in the fundamentals of analysis of architectural design through an understanding of space, light and order.
Within the module, you will also be introduced to the nature of construction and will develop an understanding of the different construction materials. This module was developed to introduce and formalise a programme of self-learning and key skills for interior architecture students.

Additional Information:
This module provides an introduction to some fundamental aspects of architectural analysis and design process. The first stage of the module involves the study, drawing and presentation of architectural qualities found in a range of notable existing buildings. These comparative studies are undertaken as group work. The second stage is an individual student submission for a small design proposal utilising the ideas and qualities previously explored.
