Course info
- This course provides a structured
exploration of fundamental design principles through hands-on
exercises.
Beginning with an introduction to drawing instruments,
paper formats,
and architectural lettering,
students develop foundational skills in geometric composition
and visual communication.
- The progression continues with exercises
focusing on geometric plane
composition, introducing colour and texture. Students then advance to reflected
volumetric
composition, mastering the transition from 2D to
3D
elements. The course culminates in analysing architectural
works,
bridging theoretical concepts with practical applications,
and
encouraging critical engagement with renowned architects' designs.
- Throughout, emphasis is placed on
creative expression, spatial
understanding, and mastery of composition
principles. Students engage with diverse mediums, from traditional drawing to
collage
and model
construction, gaining a holistic skill set for architectural design.
