Aims
To introduce to students methods of academic analysis and research and of the interpretation of ideas which underpin the creation of architectural space and composition.
To introduce to students the activity of design as a multi-disciplinary process. To engage in the fundamentals of analysis of architectural design through an understanding of space, light and form.
To introduce and formalise a programme of self-learning and key skills for the student.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Be able to engage in analytical skills towards the understanding of the design of buildings.
2.
Be able to work competently as part of a team.
3.
Have comprehension of the cultural, social and intellectual histories, theories and technologies that influence the design of buildings.
4.
Have comprehension of the creative application, conceptualisation and representation of the arts and their relevance and impact on architecture.
5.
Have comprehension and the ability to generate orthographic architectural drawings with the relevant architectural conventions and accomplish model making of buildings.
6.
Be able to engage in evaluative skills in the understanding of a range of building materials and their use in buildings.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Students are required to examine thematic ideas and the intellectual and physical make-up of nominated seminal buildings through history and in so doing to begin to grasp the notion of 'place'. Students will work in small groups.
Workshops in representational techniques will run throughout the Semester. Studio workshops in, for example, orthographics, 3D representational techniques and model-making take place during the Semester.
Individual guidance sessions are arranged to monitor the progress of the students' Personal Development Programme (PDP).
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 design proposal utilising the ideas previously explored.
