DIAGRAMMING ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES
Project 1
This assignment will teach you how to diagram architectural principles through the process of abstracting and simplifying an idea so that it can be easily understood. You are required to
investigate how architecture and spaces are created from establishing design intentions and the making of architectural elements: architectonics - solid, planes, lines and frames. The idea of using pure and diagrammatic models to express the architectural idea would be in-cooperated into this assignment.
Objectives of Project
To identify architects and their works
To analyse and ‘diagram’ architectural work of selected architect
To produce basic architectural compositions of solids, planes, lines and frames.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
The ability to recognise architects and their works
The ability to translate the analysis into architectural diagrams
The ability to create basic architectural compositions of solids, planes, lines and frames.
TASKS
In this project, we were divided into groups of 5-6 and then assigned a building. We were then required to conduct a research on the building and its architect and to produce a set of architectural drawings. We were then required to investigate and analyse the buildings through the drawings.
