Architecture

This course introduces digital modeling and presentation techniques in the field of architecture and design, enabling students to enhance their creative thinking and problem-solving skills. The course covers architectural drawing methods and workflow processes. Topics include modeling organic surfaces and exploring various plugins used in the modeling process. Advanced use of 3D modeling software and visualization techniques is emphasized, along with integrated design processes through digital workflows. Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to engage with innovative tools and techniques that support design processes, fostering both analytical and practical skills.

Sources on architectural representation and drawing techniques. Resources on video and image formatting tools and platforms. References on presentation and post-production software.

1. To enhance second-year architecture students' ability to use architectural design tools, environments, and methods, as well as their research and critical thinking skills.
2. To ensure the use of architectural language and expressions in the presentation and communication of designs.
3. To develop fundamental digital modeling skills.
4. To enrich design processes through organic surface modeling, material editing, and the introduction of plug-in tools.
5. To create innovative design solutions using advanced 3D modeling software and visualization techniques.
6. To support understanding of digital workflows and integration of these processes into their designs.
7. To improve students' creative presentation skills and strengthen their analytical thinking abilities.

1. Architectural tools and environments used at a fundamental level to convey ideas are developed by students.
2. Technical capacity in digital modeling processes is enhanced through the combined use of various architectural software.
3. Presentations incorporating architectural representation and expression techniques are created, and the visualization and material application tools of 3D modeling software are effectively utilized.
4. Designs are developed and communicated using both digital and traditional methods, tools, and environments, and design processes are completed in innovative ways.
5. Various forms are produced in a digital environment, and skills in organic surface modeling, enriching designs with plug-in tools, and integrating digital workflows are acquired.
