Architecture

This course aims to teach fundamental drawing, observation, abstraction, and modeling techniques used in the architectural design process. It covers perspective drawing, sketch modeling, 3D modeling, and infographic design using both analog and digital methods. Students will develop skills in visualizing and effectively presenting their design ideas while engaging in hands-on exercises with contemporary tools and techniques.

Resources on architectural drawing techniques, collage, photomontage, vector drawing tools, video and image editing software, and post-production applications.
Suggested resources are provided to students separately each semester.

1. Developing Fundamental Drawing Skills: Equipping students with essential sketching techniques, including line work, shape, shading, and texture.
2. Enhancing Observation and Detailing Abilities: Improving students' ability to observe and accurately depict real-life structures and landscapes.
3. Strengthening Spatial Understanding: Teaching perspective and orthographic drawing to represent three-dimensional spaces on a two-dimensional plane.
4. Improving Idea Visualization and Communication Skills: Enabling students to quickly sketch and convey architectural ideas and concepts.
5. Introducing Sketch Modeling Techniques: Familiarizing students with both analog and digital sketch modeling methods, emphasizing their role in architectural design.
6. Emphasizing the Importance of Infographics: Teaching infographic design principles for effective communication in architecture and urban planning.

1. Mastery of Fundamental Drawing Techniques: Students will demonstrate proficiency in line work, shape, shading, and texture, enabling them to produce freehand sketches.(SKILL)
2. Proficiency in Using Drawing Tools : Students will learn to effectively use various drawing media, including pencils, ballpoint pens, markers, and erasers. (SKILL)
3. Understanding Perspective and Orthographic Drawing : Students will acquire knowledge of different perspectives in drawing and develop the ability to create orthographic projections. (KNOWLEDGE-SKILL)
4. Advanced Observation Skills : Students will enhance their ability to capture details and proportions accurately, improving their observational sketching skills.(SKILL)
5. Ability to Develop Ideas Through Sketching : Students will gain the ability to use sketching as a tool for generating architectural concepts and ideas.(SKILL)
6. Sketch Modeling Skills: Students will understand the process of creating both analog and digital sketch models, including the selection and use of appropriate tools and materials.(SKILL)
7. Insights into the Evolution of Modeling Techniques: Students will learn about the historical context and technological advancements in architectural modeling.(KNOWLEDGE)
8. Understanding the Principles of Infographics: Students will grasp the fundamental principles of effective infographic design, including data visualization and proficiency in design software.(KNOWLEDGE-SKILL)
