    Study Notes

    Introduction to TOA

    • Theory of Architecture (TOA) is focused on understanding design principles and processes in architectural contexts.
    • Emphasizes analysis of anthropometric, proxemic, and kinesthetic factors related to spatial design.
    • Explores socio-cultural and technological trends impacting contemporary architecture.

    Rationale / Competencies

    • Relates architectural design principles to other art forms, enhancing interdisciplinary connections.
    • Transforms psychological and visual language into architectural signs and symbols.
    • Assesses and applies current architectural design theories in practical processes.

    Application of Design Principles

    • Incorporates anthropometrics and ergonomics for human comfort in design, especially within Filipino culture.
    • Utilizes analytical tools for evaluating the significance of architectural theories on cultural development.
    • Implements climate-responsive design, with a focus on tropical architecture principles.

    Exam Subject Weights

    • 30% covers History of architecture, theory, and architectural practices.
    • 30% focuses on Structural design and building materials.
    • 40% emphasizes Architectural design processes and site planning.

    Scope of TOA

    • Module 1: Introduction to the Theory and Architecture.
    • Module 2: Elements of Architecture and Principles of Design.
    • Module 3: Design Perception.
    • Module 4: Tropical Architecture.
    • Module 5: Influential Architects and their Works.

    Module 1 Overview

    • Introduces the definitions and significance of theory and architecture.
    • Describes architectural systems and various design processes.

    Definition of Theory and Architecture

    • Theory: Abstract concepts and principles used to analyze and explain phenomena.
      • Two types: Descriptive (explains events) and Prescriptive (provides guidelines).
    • Architecture: An art and science of designing and constructing buildings.
      • Art involves creativity and skill, while Science emphasizes knowledge gained through systematic study.

    Architectural Systems

    • Encompasses organization, space qualities, and user experiences.
      • Considers factors such as shape, texture, and light.
      • Effective circulation and entry configurations enhance spatial perception.

    Architectural Orders

    • Defines physical elements (solids, voids, spaces) and perceptual experiences (sensory recognition).
    • Emphasizes conceptual understanding of relationships among building elements and their meanings.

    Design Processes in Architecture

    • Described through the IPSEAR model:
      • Initiation: Identifying problems and context.
      • Preparation: Gathering data and setting goals.
      • Synthesis: Analyzing constraints and hypothesizing solutions.
      • Evaluation: Assessing solutions critically.
      • Action: Implementing the chosen design.
      • Reevaluation: Reflecting and refining solutions post-implementation.

    Example - Villa Savoye

    • Designed by Le Corbusier, exemplifying spatial systems integration.
    • Structural, enclosure, and circulation systems contribute to the functioning of the space and user experience.
    • Contextual design enhances functionality while maintaining aesthetic simplicity.
