Architectural Representation I

Professors:
Antonio Millán Gómez (Coordinator)
Guillem Bosch Folch
Cira López Miró

 

Objectives

  • To know the elements of conical perspective, control the perceptive distortions and make photomontages, with geometrical rigour and solvency of line and tone values. 
  • To evaluate the fields in landscape representation (forefront, medium and background), treating the depth values.
  • To have basic notions of images treatment, and begin to represent the natural environment and construction materials. 

 

Content

To handle with geometrical rigour when producing conical perspectives and its application at a quick sketch.
 
Specific objectives:
  1. Concept of architectural representation; its types and relations with lineal perspective geometry. Visual perspective, surface of representation and retinal image. 
  2. Conical perspective elements. Conical projections. 
  3. Vertical plane perspective. Frontal perspectives. Vanishing, proportionality, straight limit concepts.
  4. Angles perspectives. Legit construction. Predictions (size, frame, visual control). Effectiveness with sloping elements and inaccessible vanishings. Distance and metric points applied at perspective. Sketches construction: its rigour and its arbitrariness.  
  5. Specific cases: representation of forms with angled lines, circumferences and curves. 
  6. Introduction to shading and reflections construction.
  7. Landscape drawing elements. Line and tone values: relation with the depth idea.
  8. Practice applications in the making of sketches of built or designed buildings. Cromatic aspects. 
  9. Practice exercises of built buildings representation_1
  10. Practice exercises of built buildings representation_2
  11. Practice exercises of built buildings representation_3
  12. Practice exercises of built buildings representation_4
