- Learning outcomes:
- -to acquire the capacity of perception, configuration and representation of the architectural space;
-to make students follow his/her own thinking as projective-oriented method and conception instrument of an architectural object;
-to acquire the roles of function and resistance structure in defining of an architectural form;
-to understand the typological- morphological mechanisms of analysis of the site;
-to learn drawing as a means of an essential expression in architectural design;
-to experiment the fundamental architectural features: scale, rhythm, proportion, relationship between interior and exterior spaces, creative value of light, color and texture, etc;
-to practice the ways of theoretical defense of students’ proposed architectural solutions. - Content:
- The guidance within the architectural studio is based on teaching students the complementariness between free composition (intuition-oriented) and that following some rules/models. This principle is expressed in two major directions:
- guided projects (of various complexity)
- one-day project
The themes for the Third Year, semester 1, design concern THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT including two studio projects:
Project 1 - Culture
(“Students’ Library”; “The House of Architecture”; “Center for Cultural Itineraries”; “Cultural-Art and Society Platform”)
Project 2 - Tourism
(“Tourist Boarding and Lodging”; “Eco-tourist Boarding House”; “Mountain Little Hotel”; “Accommodation and creation spaces for writers”; “Hotels for Sport Fishermen”, etc)
("Pensiune turistică", "Pensiune eco-turistică", "Minihotel montan", "Spaţii cazare şi creaţie pentru scriitori", "Hotel pentru pescari sportivi", etc.) - Teaching Method:
- -Theoretical lectures (with illustrations) delivered by professors for all the year students or within the design shops;
-Continual guidance through the study activity;
-Correction of each student’s work or with the whole group;
-site visits, case analysis, worksheets, project sketches, scale models. - Assessment:
- Student's own defence of his/her project, for which the jury will give a grade
