Specific learning outcomes:

By the end of the course, students will be able to

  • identify the methods of emergence of figures and the perceptual mechanisms that gave rise to them.
  • recognise the different formal typologies, their advantages and drawbacks.
  • assess the potential of form and its representation in the process of architectural design.
  • apply involved and critical thinking to the process of generation of form.
  • understand the logic of architectural forms, constructed and perceived.
  • link together architectural thinking and construction, building and perception.
  • test out architectural concepts in direct contact with the materiality of the building.
  • make a case for the shape given to the project by materialisation, in relation to architectural expression.

Contribution to the learning outcomes reference framework:

  • Design a project
  • Adopt approaches which are methodical, creative, metaphorical, perceptive, collaborative etc.

Test an artistic approach

  • To imagine drivers which can transform perception of what is real
  • To take a deliberate step from an uncertain beginning by assembling pre-existing concepts and ideas to form a proposal

Build knowledge of architecture

  • Be able to use given references which, by analogy, can lead to other interpretations of the context

Make use of other subjects

  • Make use of other subjects to ask questions about the design and implementation of an architectural project

Use the technical dimension

  • Acquire an instinctive understanding of structures to use in producing a creative work of architecture

Express an architectural procedure

  • Identify the main elements of a hypothesis or a proposal to express and communicate them

Make committed choices

  • Make links between different methodological and epistemological perspectives
