Course Description

Introduction to the concepts of Architectural Composition and Methods of Architectural Design. Approach to the synthetic process: conception, investigation, formulation, processing, finalization, presentation of a proposal. Reference to the individual concepts and symbols of space such as symmetry-asymmetry, introversion-outflow, transparency-opacity, capacity-static, vacuum-full, public-private, atomic-collective, built-free space, building coefficient, coverage rate, etc. The relationship of volumes to each other, but also the inclusion of the total volume in the wider environment. Interior design. The proportion of the sizes of the individual architectural elements and their significance in the final performance of the form of the work. The management of space in general and the importance of ergonomics combined with the functional and morphological performance of the Architectural Project. Introduction to the range of problems of space organization, architectural communication and the parameters involved in contemporary design reflection. Verification of the size, character and organization of Architectural and Urban Elements. Materials and construction as integral expression of form. Transfer of building programs into a synthetic proposal. Organization of the synthetic proposal itself, the quality of which will depend on the degree of processing and incorporation into it of basic parameters for Architectural Design.
