Study Notes
Goals and Objectives
- Aim to produce excellent future architects for AIEX 2024.
- Prepare students for the Architect Licensure Examination (ALE).
- Focus on review rather than initial exposure to key terms and concepts.
Outline – SET A
- Covers Architectural Design, Communication, History, Theory, Criticism, Planning & Urban Design, and Special Clusters including Tropical Design and Geodetic Engineering.
Architectural Design
- Defined as the art and science of designing buildings and structures for human use and shelter.
- Architectural Design involves planning, designing, and constructing form, space, and ambience.
- The design process consists of problem identification, analysis, conceptualization, synthesis, and interpretation.
Architectural Design – Process
- Problem: Determine project requirements, functionality, services, and budget constraints.
- Analysis: Includes space programming and site evaluations such as boundaries, lot shape, topography, sun and wind path, and local laws/codes.
- Conceptualization: Develop design concepts and philosophy, focusing on articulation of form and space.
Properties and Transformation of Form
- Key properties of form include shape, size, color, texture, position, orientation, and visual inertia.
- Types of form transformation: dimensional, subtractive, and additive.
- Proportions are based on concepts like the Golden Section, classical and Renaissance proportions, and relative and absolute measures.
Spatial Relationships and Organization of Spaces
- Recognizes the relationship between different spaces, including containment, overlapping, and intermediary spaces.
- Organizational patterns of space: centralized, linear, radial, clustered, and grid.
Synthesis and Interpretation
- Involves conducting research and feasibility studies to develop site development plans and utility systems.
Architectural Communication
- Utilizes graphic tools and techniques for effective design expression, enhanced by advanced computer technology.
- Key techniques involve essential drawing tools, pictorial representation systems, and digital techniques of drafting.
Color Theory
- Comprised of a color wheel involving primary, secondary, and tertiary colors and principles of color harmony (monochromatic, complementary, analogous, triadic).
- Color properties include chroma, saturation, intensity, value, shade, and tint.
- Different color mixing modes: CMYK for print, RGB for digital, and grayscale for black and white.
Pictorial Representation Systems
- Projection Drawings: Types include orthographic, oblique, and perspective projections.
- Multiview Drawings: Incorporate plans, sections, and elevations aligned with the principal face.
- Paraline Drawings: Include isometric drawings where the three major axes are angled equally to the picture plane.
Architectural Communication
- Combines graphic tools, techniques, and conventions for design communication.
- Evolved with computer technology, utilizing 2D drawing programs, 3D modelers, and BIM software.
Essential Tools
- Drawing Pencils
- Drawing Pens
- Drawing Guides and Aids
- Drawing Scales
- Drawing Surfaces
- Coloring Media
Essential Techniques
- Drawing Lines
- Line Types and Weights
- Rendered Drawings
Color Theory
- Color Wheel includes Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Colors.
- Color Harmony Types: Monochromatic, Complementary, Analogous, Triadic.
- Color Properties:
- Chroma: purity of hue compared to gray.
- Saturation: degree of hue's purity.
- Intensity: brightness or dullness of a hue.
- Value: amount of light reflected from a hue.
- Shade: hue with added black.
- Tint: hue with added white.
Color Mixing
- CMYK: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black for printed designs.
- RGB: Red, Green, Blue for digital images.
- Grey Scale: black and white only.
- HSB: Hue, Saturation, Black (includes tint/shade).
Principal Systems of Pictorial Representations
- Types of Drawings:
- Projection Drawing: Orthographic, Oblique, Perspective.
- Multiview Drawings: plans, sections, and elevations oriented parallel to the picture plane.
- Paraline Drawings: Various isometric views (Isometrics, Dimetrics, Trimetrics) and orientations (Elevation Obliques, Plan Obliques).
- Perspective Drawings: One-point, two-point, and three-point perspectives.
Digital Techniques
- Computer-Aided Design (CAD): Visual representation in 2D and modeling in 3D.
- Digital Model and Renderings enhance visualization and design.
- Building Information Modeling (BIM): Integrates project data into dynamic 3D modeling, covering the building lifecycle from design to operation.
Conceptualization
- Design Concepts: Mood boarding to encapsulate design intentions.
- Design Philosophy involves the articulation of form and space.
Architectural Design Process
- Articulation: Interrelationship of geometric forms and spaces.
- Primary Elements of Form: Shape, Size, Color, Texture, Position, Orientation, Visual Inertia.
- Form Transformation Types: Dimensional, Subtractive, Additive.
- Proportion of Form: The Golden Section (1.618), and various proportioning systems (Classical, Renaissance, Modulor, Ken).
Spatial Relationships
- Relationship dynamics: Contained within larger spaces, defined by separating and binding planes.
- Overlapping spatial fields create shared zones.
- Intermediary spaces facilitate relationships between separate areas.
Organization of Spaces
- Centralized: Secondary spaces around a dominant central space.
- Linear: Repetitive or differing spaces in a single line.
- Radial: Linear organizations extending from a central point.
- Clustered: Cellular spaces in close physical proximity.
- Grid: Regular patterns established by perpendicular sets of parallel lines.
