Learning unit contents

The "Graphic Construction of Space 2" workshop continues the practices developed in Block 1, while introducing new concepts and/or representations:
- Using axonometric perspective

constructions applied to plans / elevations
basic concepts of projected shadows and drop shadows (logical understanding)

- Introduction of vanishing point perspective

intuitive approach
rigorous construction by positioning observed elements
plan-assisted construction
autonomous construction on a cubic grid
introduction of systems of projected and drop shadows (logic)

- regulated surfaces: intuitive approach (based on models) and representation through drawing
- application of concepts by putting an architectural project into perspective

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The "Graphic Construction of Space" programme aims to help students discover resources involved in composition and representation which will be applied during their architect-designer career. Learning to use views and three dimensions helps explore space and its possibilities, and thus develops an ability to create. Drawing remains a language which is particular to the architect. The programme also essentially develops their skills through a "drawing" tool, but can be accompanied by models or, gradually, digital drawing for those who wish to use it, depending on their progress in the IT classes and as long as the student remains in control of the production process.
By the end of the course, students will be able to: - apply the rules of perspective to their own work, whether through observation or design, in the form of sketches or rigorous construction. - construct the representation of a piece of architecture in perspective (simple examples) - understand and interpret drawings in perspective - understand the principle of sunlight and the logic behind it (simple examples) - understand construction and representation of regulated surfaces (simple examples) Practicing outside class is essential to consolidate and learn. Application in the architecture workshops is strongly recommended.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Students must have acquired the following credits in order to take part in this learning unit: - ARCH3267-1: "Graphic Construction of Space 1A" - ARCH3268-1: "Graphic Construction of Space 1B"
Students must also simultaneously take the following units: -
Students are asked to make relevant links with the skills and expertise acquired during the architecture workshops, the "space writing" workshops and the "digital culture" class.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

This course is organised into 12 four-hour workshops. A lecture lasting approximately one hour will precede the practical sessions, introducing any new issues. This mainly involves drawings carried out using instruments, sometimes with explorations in model form. Work will be finished in the workshop, during support sessions or at home depending on the specific indications given in each session. A timetable with the deadlines for the various exercises will be provided at the start of the year.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

Regular presence in the workshops is essential to understand the subject in a cumulative way. This is also how permanent dialogue is established, which is a key part of the course. Although some work may be prepared or finished at home, most of the work, in terms of discussions, exploration and confirmation, will take place in the workshop. Participation in the workshops will involve attending lectures and arriving with materials.

Assessment methods and criteria

Continuous assessment: - during the year on the basis of work carried out in the workshop - at the end of the term based on individual work to be submitted during the exam session An A3 folder including all the individual work throughout the year must be submitted on the day of the exam.
This evaluation is weighted in an increasing way depending on the importance of the work, according to methods which will be communicated by the teaching staff.
The following assessment criteria will be used: - respecting the instructions - interest of the work - accuracy and consistency - graphic quality of the presentation
These criteria have different values depending on the work and are weighted as part of the overall total mark given to the work.
Students who do not have their equipment may be penalised.

Organizational remarks

In total, 12 four-hour sessions per term. Location: the Outremeuse site, workshop on the ground floor and the main auditorium.
Students must be punctual. Due to the disruption caused, late arrivals are not permitted. Students are requested to respect the timetable for the group to which they belong. Students may not change group of their own accord. Students are requested to respect the materials and areas made available to them; they must use the recycling facilities and ensure they leave the workshop clean and tidy. Attendance at the workshops is compulsory. Students who are absent are expected to catch up with all relevant information for the following workshop.
The drawing equipment listed at the start of the year is necessary for each workshop. Students who do not have their equipment are not allowed to take part in the workshop. Drawings must be carried out carefully and precisely, using instruments. All pencil drawn construction lines should be kept.
