Class Architecture Project III

The discipline introduces the symbiotic and experimental relationship between the Program, the Place and the Materials as fundamentals of Project Methodology in Architecture. The subject of the subject is space, housing and its typological, topological and symbolic variables. The pedagogical foundation of the teaching methodology is the articulation of the critical exercise between the Program, the Place and the Materials through the experimentation with manual geometric operability and the successive approach to scales and types of drawing.

Not applicable

Introduction to Project Methodology through the representation supports Sketch/Geometry/Hand-Raised Drawing; Study Model; Technical Drawing based on the study of Program, Space and Form. Investigation of the conceptual process. Handling programs and conceptual models in archetypal contexts: the underground; the shelter; the house; Handling of typological and morphological models: compact; fragmented; horizontal, vertical; serial. Introduction to the problems of living. Experimentation with language and architectural expression. Formation of architectural concepts. Application of semiological concepts and phenomenological methods. Learning successive approaches to the scales of technical drawing as a heuristic method from the formulation of concepts to materiality. Two (2) practical exercises and one (1) theoretical exercise are developed which, in a complementary way, seek to develop the aforementioned objectives.

The methodologies envisaged are related to the articulation between the theoretical knowledge conveyed in the classroom (using slide show projections and films) and its articulation with the practical work requested.
