11211 Architectural Design: Forming
6cpUndergraduate
This subject introduces students to diverse sources of architectural concepts and forms, including those found in the history of architecture and from outside of architecture, for example, in nature, mathematics, the human body, art practice and everyday objects. These sources are considered in terms of their formal appearance, performance in different conditions, cultural and historical associations, and potential for inventive development and transformation. Techniques for making and evaluating compositions are introduced along with conceptual terms used in architecture such as abstraction, figure, hierarchy, order, etc.
Processes for the development of initial formal proposals for site and program specific conditions are explored through orthographic drawing, three-dimensional modelling using appropriate software, sketches and scale models.
