Course Description

This course is focused on applying various presentation techniques through simple design solutions. Students develop a spatial understanding of urban, landscape, building, interior space and product-related issues. They learn how to assess, interpret and represent those entities by using 2D - 3D drawings and models, including computer techniques, on a given design problem. Students develop an aptitude in explaining ideas through their own visual language. The course enhances the intuition of relevant issues in design such as building construction and structural systems working through simple design problems. The relationship of urban, landscape, building, interior space and product-related materials with their environment is discussed through small-scale design exercises. The course aims to provide students the means to understand, interpret and evaluate natural, historical and cultural environments.
