Objectives

Autumn:

To know the traditional and computer-based representation systems usual in architecture, and the capacity of spatial synthesis that imply the use of this systems.
To recognise and interpret the objects by represented images in axonometry, conical, plan, elevations and/or sections, and in the various three-dimensional computer-based formats.
To control the objects in the space and its environment applying dimension, position and form analysis concepts.
To use geometry as a synthesis model for analysis and objects generation.
To manage the proposed data, structure it, elaborate it and value its results.
To outline and structure systems and resolution methods of work strategies in graphic determination of objects and its metric and geometric control.
To graphically control the influence of the natural and artificial environment in architectural spaces: Image (perception), energy (sun) and location (terrain).

Spring:

To interpret the architectural representation process by the analysis of a built architecture, but not allowed to visit, to achieve its understanding and, from this, represent it. The means for this are the graphic ones, using simultaneously handmade and computer-based proceedings.
The subject propose, on one hand, to apply the handmade proceedings in the understanding process, and on the other hand, go in depth in the adaptation of the use of a CAD system in the architectural representation process.

Content

Autumn:

GEOMETRY OF THE REPRESENTATION:

Two-dimensional representation:

Concepts and properties of conical perspective, axonometry, plan and elevation representation.
The perspective image: structure, perception and its relation with photography.
Reading and comprehension of objects' representation. Understanding and synthesis of space.

Three-dimensional representation and precision:
- Positional and relational metrical control of objects in space.
- Data entrance and extraction in three-dimensional graphic systems.
- Basic geometry in space for objects generation: Normals and tangencies / Curves, surfaces and volumes: concepts, generation and control.
- Geometric transformation operation. Basic modification of entities by the edition of their parameters.

GEOMETRIC AND PERCEPTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ELEMENTS THAT FORM THE OBJECTS:

Three-dimensional virtual models generation applying interactions between geometrical forms.
Transformation and modification of forms for generation of new design and architecture elements. Formalisation strategies.
Geometrical resources applied to specific themes for roof resolution, stairs drawing, spatial mesh generation, used surfaces creation in architecture.
Graphic resources for sun control in architecture and urbanism.
Application of free matrices for terrain models generation and its modification for architectural elements adaptation.

Spring:

Representation of the project.
Computer-aided design (CAD 2D and 3D).
Cylindrical projection: 2D - Plans, sections, elevations.
Cylindrical projection: 3D - Axonometries.
Conical projection: Indoor and outdoor visual exploration.
Application of digital technology in architectural representation.
Presentation of architectural spaces and forms.
Use of system's expressive resources for the intentional representation of work.
