SFA-8 | Shape Study (4)

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

Titulari:

lect.drd.arh. Romeo Simiraş

conf.dr.arh. Iulius Ionescu

Learning outcomes:

The course has the following didactic objects:
- Initiation in the morphology of the space (spatial delimitation) from the elementary to reciprocal relations between elements (light – space, colour – light – space, texture – colour - light – space)
- Configuration of an elementary architectural space with a given thematic utility.
The didactic objects had in view are realised through a gradual run through the concepts about the configuration of the architectural space. This running through is realised through the appropriation of some abstract concepts in describing and expression of the spatial configurations and then through the association of this concepts with the architectural objects which compound the space (the last exercise).

Content:

THE SPACE
1. Space – spatial delimitations and „architectural transparency”. Spatial composition without architectural connotation. Cardboard model, sketches and camera. Pencil sketches and photo
2. Space an light (white surfaces, white light). Drawing on coloured paper (gray). Rendering the light and shadow in monochrome technique (tints of gray or sepia)
3. Space and colour. Placing the chromatic surfaces and masses in the architectural space. White light, without texture attribute. Perspective drawing. Rendering in flat tints (tempera or water colour)
4. Space, light and colour. White and coloured light. Model (“shoe box”), camera, computer. Model, photo (eventually computer)
5. Space, light and colour – architectural scenography (application on a given programme). Model, drawing. Polychrome drawing in technique at choice.
6-7. Space and form (“relation positive – negative”) - synthesis application. Cardboard model, sketches and camera. Presentation at choice (model, computer, drawing)

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.

Assessment:

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

Bibliography:

Bibliographical lists for each work.

Notes:

The proposed exercises complete the course of Perspective and are continued at the computer activity.
