Department:

Study of Form and Ambience

Course Leader:

lect.dr. arh. Valerica Potenchi

Learning outcomes:

The course provides students with the necessary formative elements for spatial perception training, as well as key information for creating architectural representations. There have been selected from classical descriptive geometry only those elements that are able to develop the architect's spatial thinking.
Using the descriptive geometry means, students are taught in the second part of the semester the geometric forms with direct application in architecture and design: Polyhedral forms, Ruled surfaces: geometry of vaults, hyperbolic paraboloid, helicoidal stairs.

Content:

Lectures:

Lectures and computer examples, practical works with guidance.

Assessment:

The average of the best 10 grades at practical works = 40%, the average of the test + the final exam = 60%, with the requirement that the average of the test and the final exam is at least 4,50.
