Main Aims/Objectives

To give the students de ability of using geometrical concepts and graphical codes, rigorous and measurable, that enables them to change from the three dimensions of the space to the drawing and vice-versa.
The development of the abstraction ability.
The development of the logical-deductive abilities, especially the ones related with the perception and the representation of forms and objects in the space.

Specific Aims/Objectives

To give the students the ability to understand and use the established codes in the representation of the architectural object and of the territory – as an instrument of the project.

Skills to be acquired

The development of perception and representation abilities of real or idealised shapes, in the spatial context.
The first steps in the formation of the project’s methodology, through the exploration of the represented objects in a formal and functional way.

Teaching Procedures

Generally, the transmitted knowledge will be applied in concrete problems. The practical lessons will be the ultimate place for experimentation and validation of the theoretical knowledge.

Programme

AXONOMETRIC DRAWING
The system’s fundamental characteristics.
Perpendicular projection and oblique projection.
Axonometric pyramid.
Axonometric triangle.
Reduction coefficients of the axonometric axis.
Representation of the fundamental elements: point, straight line and plane.
Belonging conditions.
Intersections.
Parallelism.
Representation of plane figures and tridimensional objects.
Construction of shades and shadows.

UNIPLANAR METHOD
Generalities.
The method’s basic concepts: unity, inclination angle, interval or module.
Representation of the fundamental elements: point, straight line and plane.
Belonging conditions.
Intersections.
Parallelism.
Perpendicularity.
Planes rotation.
Inclined roof surfaces.
Territory representation, using contour lines.
Construction of shades and shadows.

Evaluation Type

The adopted method is the result of the usage of the University’s Knowledge and Competences Regulation. The evaluation focuses on the frequency tests and exams, together with two tests that enable the quantification of the evaluation grade.

Teaching Resources

The didactical material used will be essential, with the aim to give the students the ability of abstraction and spatial visualization.
Drawings on the board will be the main procedure. Furthermore, the projection of computer-generated images will also be used and, occasionally, models.
