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).
