    Study Notes

    Overall Structure of the Review Lecture

    • Goals focus on comprehensive assessment to create excellent architects and prepare for the ALE.
    • Objectives emphasize familiarity with essential terminologies, building types, architectural styles, and related visuals.

    Architectural Design

    • Defined as the art and science of creating spaces for human use and shelter.
    • Design involves intentional creation aimed at specific ends.

    Process of Architectural Design

    • Stages:
      • Problem identification: Understanding project requirements, function, activities, and budget.
      • Analysis: Includes space programming and site evaluation.
      • Conceptualization: Involves design concepts and philosophy articulation, focusing on form and space.
      • Synthesis: Conducting research and feasibility studies.
      • Interpretation: Development of schemes, site plans, and utility systems.

    Key Elements in Problem Identification

    • Example: A two-storey residential project on a sloped site with defined size, intended use, and client budget.

    Site Evaluation Aspects

    • Evaluates boundaries, lot shape, topography, sun/wind patterns, location of utilities, and adherence to regulations.
    • Example: Rectangular lot with specific features such as a 32m east-facing frontage and a slight uniform slope.

    Conceptualization

    • Involves design concepts and mood boarding to finalize design philosophy, focusing on the articulation of form and space.

    Properties and Organization of Form

    • Properties include shape, size, color, texture, and visual inertia.
    • Organization forms include centralized, linear, radial, clustered, and grid arrangements to create functional spaces.

    Proportion and Spatial Relationships

    • Proportional standards like the Golden Section (1.618) guide design.
    • Spatial relationships explore how spaces connect, define, or relate through intermediary areas.

    Architectural Communication

    • Utilizes graphic tools to communicate design intent effectively.
    • Advances in technology have led to a range of drawing techniques from 2D to 3D modeling and BIM software.

    Essential Tools and Techniques in Architectural Communication

    • Tools include various drawing instruments, scales, guides, media, and surface types.
    • Techniques focus on line quality, types, weights, and rendering styles.

    Color Theory Basics

    • Color wheel includes primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.
    • Color harmony types: monochromatic, complementary, analogous, triadic.
    • Properties of color cover chroma, saturation, intensity, value, shade, and tint.

    Systems of Pictorial Representation

    • Types include projection drawings (orthographic, oblique, perspective), multiview drawings, and paraline drawings (such as isometric representations).
