Course Content

Simple design problems as tools to gain proficiency in various representation techniques; 2D - 3D drawings and modelling; introduction of computer techniques through uncomplicated design work; aptitude in explication of ideas through a personalized visual language; enhancement of intuition relevant to issues of design such as building construction and structural systems through simple design problems; discussion on the relationship of architectural materials with the environment through small scale design exercises; organization of field trips for understanding and evaluating natural, historical and cultural environments.

Objectives of the Course

The objective of this course is to establish the simple spatial relationships that base on the organization of semi-open-open spaces and the duality of private-public spaces through a low-rise single building together with its environmental design.
