SFA-78 | Representations in Architecture and Urbanism

Compulsory Course | Hours/Week: 4P | ECTS Credits: 4

Titular:

lect.drd.arh. Teodor Zoran

Learning outcomes:

The study takes place in the atelier and outside it, teaching students practical elements common in architectural, urban and landscape representation, from liniar monochrome representation to spatial polychromy. The practical application of drawing and representation elements supports a good understanding of spatial perception and representation through specific information and technique. The student learns practical skills in the formative area of interest, contributing to the expansion of his/her creative horizon, from quick and sketchy representation to life-like representation.

Teaching Method:

Following a session of comments on previous themes, there is a theoretical briefing on the next theme - 15', followed by practical work in the atelier according to the written annexed subtheme under the guidance of the teacher which can be finished elsewhere.

Assessment:

Each work is graded by the average grade of the two subthemes. The final grade is weighted by the best five works (80%) as well as a presentation map (20%).
