Tools to express/represent a space in two or three dimensions

Context of the appearance of different tools for expression/representation and important landmarks for each of them, both historically and symbolically

Composition of tools for expression/representation in the production of 'speech aids'
Written and oral communication

Formulate and communicate in oral, graphic, or material form, and in writing, based on the 'speech aids' produced, the foundations and aims of the result of the project

Learning outcomes

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

Students will be able to display the coherent way in which they can use conventional and artistic methods of representation to explore and reveal present or imagined reality; this contributes to the learning outcomes reference network:
Express an architectural procedure

Be familiar with, understand and use the codes for representing space, in two and three dimensions
Convey the experience of spatiality in all its complexity by observing it and posing questions
Identify the founding elements of a hypothesis or a proposal to express and communicate them
Test and use relevant means of communication in relation to the intended audience and the target objectives
Express ideas clearly in oral, graphic and written form

In Tournai, students will also be assessed on the following specific learning outcomes:

Students will be able to display the coherent way in which they can activate their knowledge and their critical stance in relation to tools for expression/representation in the discipline.
Students will be able to display the coherent way in which they can activate and complete an individual project, to reconstruct it and take a critical view of the reconstruction, whilst aware of the disciplinary field involved in the project.

These two specific learning outcomes contribute to the learning outcomes reference network:

Build knowledge of architecture
Be familiar with and analyse the discipline's basic references

Adopt a professional attitude

Organise, plan, develop and bring together the different strands of individual work

Content

Instruction in the representation of the atmosphere of a place by means of different media, suggesting a specific activity within the interior space. The graphic and plastic narration is considered as the heterogeneous set of documents produced, capable of telling the story of this use and of releasing the imagined atmosphere.

Teaching methods

The exercise takes place in five stages, combining objective and sensitive analysis with reflection on the atmosphere. Students work in groups. At each workshop session, all the graphic elements produced by each group will be displayed and discussed.

Evaluation methods

The themes initiated, the evolution of the representation project and the coherence between the different graphic documents will be judged. The capacity for analysis, observation, representation and formulation of intentions will also be judged. The pre-jury counts for 40%, the jury for 60%. The final documents are handed in at the jury. The modalities will be specified during the correction session.
