Teaching Method

Outline:

In Architectural Design Studio I the students aquire the skills necessary for producing architectural drawings.

Style:

Learn how to draft through the execution of drawings, replication of masterpiece architecture drawings.The students will understand the drafting rules for architectural: how to draw lines by hand, the concept of scale and measurement units, how to use text information. The student will be able to express his design ideas through drawing. Two instructors and technical staff carry the classes.

Notice:

This course requires 90 hours of self-study time. The students are required to secure sufficient time for the production of each assignment and respect the submission deadline. Students attendance is required, and only a maximum of 4 absences is excused.
