SEMESTER 1
Architectural Design I (ARC60208) is structured as an introduction to architectural design. This preliminary design module aims to present and explain design through the expression of the perception of ‘self’ and the body, construction and materiality in terms of tectonics. This will be enhanced with the understanding of anthropometrics and designing intrapersonal space with creative exercise involving the body movements and experiences of the user.
The module introduces fundamental skills for the appropriate communication of architectural design. It engages different means of visualization and expression of space and spatial ideas through architectural drawings to prepare us with the skills required in design projects. These skills are taught through a series of freehand and constructed drawing held both outdoors and in the studio.
