Learning unit contents

The aim of this course is to provide the student with the technical and practical tools to represent a portion of a built element using a digital photograph. The objective of the course is to provide an inexpensive survey tool that is easy to implement in many architectural situations.
The course covers the following concepts:
- Photography
- Optics
- Optical deformations photographs
- Digital Photography
- Photographic Redevelopment
- Exploitation of perspectives
- Photo-topometry
- Orthoprojective representation
- Architectural elevations
- Documentation of the built heritage.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The course works the following skills of the faculty repository:
 
Instruct an architectural question:

  • The approach of the complexity of the question and its spatial inscription
  • Study the different components of the theme and the context
Elaborate a spatial response:
  • Space design
  • Appropriate graphic languages
  • Spatially translate hypotheses
Implement a spatial response located
  • The confrontation with the material situation
  • Take into account climatic and geographical factors of the site
Interact with all actors
  • Involvement in human and professional relations
  • Join interdisciplinary teams by adopting a position corresponding to his level of expertise
At the end of the course, the student must be able to:
  • Understand the principle of photography
  • Exploit the photographic principles of focal length, hyperfocal, depth of field, optical deformations ...
  • Understand and master the perspective at 1, 2, 3 points of leaks
  • Model an architectural object based on a 2D photographic representation
  • Understand the architectural modeling photo at 1 image.
  • Manipulate the modes of representation of elevations of facades.
  • Know and implement the general principles of built heritage documentation.
