Class Architectural Design III

Due to its referential dimension, property in representation, prospective character and its cognitive and imaginative function, Drawing structures perceptions of the world.

The subject of Architectural Design III presents itself as a seminal discipline in the ways of perceiving and conceiving architecture, functioning as a laboratory for exercises, methodologies and ideas that support the practice of architecture.

Fundamentals of Architectural Design: Expression

1. The gesture: instruments and tools as an extension of the body

2. How to draw a line? pure line, dash, point and thicknesses.

3. Soft (soft) and hard (hard): the disturbing expressiveness of the forms

4. Stain, weft and sfumato in the expression of opacity and transparency.

Fundamentals of Architectural Design: Representation

1. Figure and background: tension and energy in shape formation

2. Light and shadow: representation of the materialities of the visible.

3. Perspective: structuring reality and appearance.

4. Scale, shape, proportion, composition: the science of Drawing.

Fundamentals of Architectural Design: Imagination

1. The materialities of architecture

2. The possible as an aesthetic category: utopias and dystopias

3. Designing with digital tools.

The assessment consists of 3 parameters: attendance and good participation (20%); graphic notebook (A5 format graphic diary) (20%); portfolio of exercises performed in class (sum of 8 mandatory exercises) (60%).

During the exam period (improvement and appeal) the presentation of the portfolio with the exercises launched during the semester is required, as well as the presentation of the records in the Graphic Diary.

Note: Only students who have more than 50% of attendance in class, as well as have been evaluated (in the context of continuous assessment), will be accepted for at least 50% of the proposed exercises.
