SFA-6 | Geometric Representations

Compulsory Course | Hours/Week: 2C+1L | ECTS Credits: 3

Titular:

drd.arh. Victor Moraru

Teaching Staff:

asist. dr. arh. Sorana Untanu, asist. arh. Valeria Potenchi, prep. arh. Ioana Avram

Learning outcomes:

The course provides students with the necessary formative elements for spatial perception training, as well as key information for creating architectural representations. There have been selected from classical descriptive geometry only those elements that are able to develop the architect's spatial thinking.

Content:

Lectures:

1. Projection systems. Classification, definition, properties. Geometric transformations.
2. Point and straight line. Representations, projections, traces. Special straight lines.
3. The plane. Representations, traces, intersection of planes. Special planes.
4. Methods of descriptive geometry. Chage of projection planes.
5. Methods of descriptive geometry. Rotation.
6. Methods of descriptive geometry. Rebatting.
7. Solving hipped roofs with equal slopes.
8. Solving roofs with blind walls.
9. Axonometry. Definition, classifications.
10. Irregular polyhedrons. Representation, visibility, unfolding.
11. Intersections of irregular polyhedrons. The general method, explained in axonometry.
12. Intersections of irregular polyhedrons. The general method, explained in double orthogonal projection.
13. Regular polyhedrons. Relation between the regular polyhedrons and cube.
14. Circle and sphere.

Practical works:

1. Geometric transformations - homology and affinity. Representation of point .
2. Straight lines and planes. Condition for a straight line to belong to a plane.
3. Representation of a plane. Intersections of planes.
4. Chage of projection planes.
5. Solving hipped roofs with equal slopes.
6. Solving roofs with blind walls.
7. Intersections of irregular polyhedrons.

Teaching Method:

Lectures and computer examples, study on 3D scale models, practical works with guidance.

Assessment:

Average of practical works (40%) + final exam (60%)

Notes:

A test whose aim is to verify students knowledge about theoretical concepts taught at courses is also a part of the final exam. This theoretical test can increase (if the answers are good) or decrease (if the answers are not good) the exam mark with one point.
