SFA-7 | Shape Study (3)

Compulsory Course | Hours/Week: 3L | ECTS Credits: 3

Titulari:

lect.drd.arh. Romeo Simiraş

conf.dr.arh. Iulius Ionescu

Learning outcomes:

- The capacity of observing objects and analysing their constructive logic.
- The understanding of the relation between the tridimensional object and the frame of the image.
- Skills in expressing and manipulating the tridimensional forms using the material (model and modeling).

Content:

THE FORM
1. Essentiality of the architectural form. Support – white drawing paper 35x50 cm. Line drawing, different techniques
2. Form – perception (tridimensional composition using the ˝frame of the image˝). Support – model and camera. Sketches, model and photo
3. Form – transformations (substracţion). Support – cube from BCA l=15 cm and camera. Sculpture and photo
4. Form – transformations (substraction). From the form to the object; architectural scale. Support – drawing paper 35x50 cm. Graphic technique at choice
5. a) Form – transformations (addition). Tridimensional composition. Support – modelling in clay and camera. b) Form – pleated surfaces. Support – paper, cardboard and camera. Modelling in clay and camera. Origami technique and photo
6. a) Form – transformations (addition). Reproduction of complex forms – “the ova”. Support – modelling in clay and camera. b) Form – anamorphic geometries (“Origami architecture”). Support – Paper model, sketches and camera. Modelling in clay and camera. Origami technique and photo
7. Form – study and analytical representation through the drawing, catching the structural logic of the objects. Support – white drawing paper 35x50 cm. Technique – graphite pencil

Teaching Method:

Theoretical explanations to all the students from the year, a week before the practical work, practical works realised in the studio, with guidance.
Didactic materials: The materials and the instruments currently used in the design activity in the school.

Assessment:

The average of the best 5 works = 80 %, the portofolio containing all the works = 20%.

Bibliography:

Bibliographical lists for each work.

Notes:

The observation drawing is an application for the course of Perspective, and the modelling exercises support the course of 3D Modelling (computer course).
