Architectural design studio 2 exploration

Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes

The training offered in the Architectural Project 2 workshop explores different facets of architectural work, through a series of projects with defined objectives and in line with the relevant reference points.
There is an environmental programme and context to the topics studied:

living in the wide sense of the term (domestic, collective, urban, regional)
the constructed environment, in scale with the local area, on defined plots, linked with existing building together with the component dimensions of architectural space : structure, light and material.

As part of students'learning about architectural design, the Architectural Project 2 unitbrings together these topics in the gradual process of learning design skills.

Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

The general objective of the Bachelor's degree in Architecture is to be able to:
- READ (make out, understanding, find the meaning of, distinguish, recognise)
- DESCRIBE (represent, draw or follow)
- USE (join, combine, order) the basic components of architecture, with sensitivity and understanding of the basic, long-term values which are at the heart of the discipline.
Architectural Project 2 achieves this general objective by exploration, following on from the introduction given in Architectural Project 1.
Contribution to the learning outcome reference framework:
Design a project - exploration

Sensibly bring together and develop natural and artificial environments (landscape, urban, buildings) within a framework of basic parameters
Express and prioritise the aims of the projects so as to be able to make choices
Understand, test and bring together the organisation of the space through an architectural project
Analyse, consider and invent architectural practices through drawings and models
Adopt approaches which are methodical, creative, metaphorical, perceptive, collaborative

Test an artistic approach

To imagine, produce and explore various possible avenues to respond to a question

Build knowledge of architecture

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

Place the action
Experiment with the possibilities of transforming a context
Use the technical dimension

Observe and assess the main construction principles of a building
Acquire an instinctive understanding of structures to use in producing a creative work of architecture

Express an architectural procedure

Be familiar with, understand and use the codes for representing space, in two and three dimensions
