Study Notes
Module 1: Introduction to Architectural Design
- Module Overview: Establishes a brief overview of Architecture and Design, emphasizing the importance of drawings and sketching for spatial problem-solving, distinguishing it from other art forms.
- Module Coverage: Covers the topic for 1 week.
- Module Objective: Helps students understand the definitions and aspects of architecture and design.
- Module Learning Outcomes: Students should be able to:
- Discuss the nature of Architecture and Design
- Explain the importance of drawing and sketching
- Discuss relevant design tools for communicating ideas
- Module Interdependencies: This module acts as a prerequisite for Module 2: Groundwork for Design Thinking, requiring thorough knowledge integration.
- Module Learning Materials:
- Presentation Slides
- Lecture Notes
- Supplementary Images and Videos
- Drawing/Drafting instruments
- Paper, illustration board, etc
- Other relevant course materials (additional readings)
- Module Output-based Work: Students should refer to the course outline and the LMS (e.g., Canvas) for output-related assignments and assessments.
- References: Provides a list of architectural texts for students to study (Ching, Radford, Pearson & Richards, Salvan, Hillenbrand, and Giedion)
Architecture: Definition
- Definition: Architecture is the art and science of designing and constructing buildings (per Francis DK Ching).
- Art aspect: refers to the final product/result of building collectively (buildings)
- Science aspect: refers to the method or building characteristics of a specific people, place or time.
- Complete perspective: The profession of designing buildings and other habitable environments, including conscious acts of unifying, coherent structure building.
- RA9266 Implementation Rules and Regulations: Define architecture as the art, science or profession that also considers the overall environment when planning, designing and constructing buildings, based on principles such as utility, strength and beauty
Design: Definition
- Definition: The process of envisioning and planning the creation of objects, interactive systems, buildings—that are centered on or aim at the end-user/user.
- Additional Notes: A process of creating relevant solutions for physical and abstract problems, particularly designing objects (like a bridge)
Art: Definition
- Definition: Art is a visual object or experience—including various mediums like painting, sculpture and more—conscientiously created with skill and imagination.
- More inclusive perspective Art also encompasses the conscience uses of skill and creative imagination in producing aesthetically beautiful or significantly important pieces.
Difference Between Art and Design
- Design: Problem-solving, conclusive result, collective acceptance, and mind toward solutions.
- Art: Question-raising, open debate, personal expression, inner approval, and a more emotional essence/meaning.
Importance of Drawing in Architectural Design
- Fundamental for visual communication of design ideas.
- Various sketching techniques help in idea generation, site analysis, space organization, and in the technical development stage.
- Sketching acts as a crucial part of the initial design phase to record and organize thoughts.
Architectural Tools and Materials
- Drawing Tools: Pencils (various hardness), technical pens, erasers, drafting brushes, compasses, colored pens, T-squares, triangles, rulers, protractors, French curves, templates (Furniture, circular)
- Measuring Tools: Metric scales, steel tapes
- Paper Materials: Onion, Tracing, and White papers (various sizes)
- Rendering Materials: Coloured pencils, Watercolor, oil/pastel, poster/acrylic paints, mixed media
- Modelling Materials: Cardboards, illustration boards, cutting mats, scissors, precision knives, Tweezers
