Description

This module will further develop the skills and principles relating to range of architectural representation and communication methods introduced during Semester 1 within the Design Studio 1 and Visual Literacy modules.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

Utilise orthographic and paraline architectural drawing conventions at a basic level.

Produce, co-ordinate a set of design drawings demonstrating contextualisation and cross-referencing of design information.

Apply fine arts based representation methods creatively to design projects to develop design ideas and communicate design aspirations

Construct and utilise physical models as a design development tool from concept to presentation stage.

Compile and deliver a presentation to a peer group and to listen and critically respond to the views of others.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Architectural Drawing and Communication is taught using a combination of lectures, presentations, practical based tutorials and workshops. Both individual and group work modes are utilised throughout.

Module Assessment Strategies

A series of weekly practical skill-based assignments and verbal and visual presentations associated with each of the areas highlighted.

Modes: 100% continuous formative assessment of coursework throughout the semester and final portfolio review and summative assessment at end of semester.

Repeat Assessments

Repeat assessment will be dependent on failed components. This will be confirmed at formal exam boards.

Indicative Syllabus

Indicative syllabus:

Drawing and modelling techniques focused towards exploring design ideas, concepts and strategies are introduced and developed.

Constructed/projected orthographic drawings and physical models are developed in more detail and complexity as the basis for conventional architectural representation.

Freehand sketching and the use of the design sketch/work book as a design development tool and a record of all content, examples, explorations and exercises during the module will be emphasised.

Photography and film are introduced and explored as design development and representational tools.

1 – Observational, Analytical and Conceptual drawing- a variety of drawing and diagramming techniques are introduced.

ISBN 1780676573 ISBN-13 9781780676579

Studio Craft & Technique is a one-stop handbook for undergraduate students of architecture. Based on the belief that technology and craft are at the heart of design studies, this book encourages students to think of them as aspects of an integrated whole. The book provides step-by-step techniques for skills that students use in their undergraduate studies, such as drawing, model making and surveying and explains the conventions of architectural representation. It also explains the primary elements of construction and structure from first principles, using clear diagrams and drawings. Students can use this handbook on a daily basis in their design and technology studios through their first years of study. Recommended to first year students at numerous architecture schools, this new edition has been extensively revised and updated.

A complete guide to drawing, perception, and analysis for architects and designers The observation and drawing of real objects are the starting points for the designer's visionary constructions and inspirations. A longtime favorite of architectural students, Douglas Cooper's Drawing and Perceiving: Real-World Drawing for Students of Architecture and Design instills an understanding of the basic principles of drawing that are universal to all design disciplines-mass, volume, form, contour, texture, shadow, and more-as it explores the knowledge, rational thought, and expressiveness that designers rely on to create successful drawings. Now including a CD featuring Cooper's own dynamic instruction, this new Fourth Edition combines theory and technique to prepare students of architecture and design to carry on a dialogue between their perceptions of the physical world and their understanding of the elements of design.
