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) - use architectural graphical representation codes Practicing outside class is essential to consolidate and learn. Application in the architecture workshops is strongly recommended.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

To be able to participate in this learning unit, you must have taken the following courses: - ARCH3267-1: "Graphic construction of space 1A" - ARCH3268-1: "Graphic construction of space 1B"
In case of an exemption, these prerequisites can be transformed into corequisites.
Students are also asked to make the necessary links between the knowledge and skills from the 'architecture' and 'writing space' workshops, and the 'digital culture' course.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

This course is divided into 12 two-part sessions organised according to the reversed class model:
- one-hour theoretical presentations online, introducing new issues. This presentation will be a compulsory before taking part in the practical application session.
- two hour practical session in the workshop. This primarily consists of sketches carried out using instruments, sometimes leading to model-based explorations. Work will begin at home (layout and basic drawing) and will continue in the workshop in the presence of the teaching staff. Following specific instructions given at each session, the work carried out will be submitted to the eCampus platform and/or on paper. A schedule covering the deadlines for the different exercises will be provided at the start of the year.
The issues raised by the theoretical presentations will be asked again during the workshops when additional explanations will be given by the teaching staff.
Regular presence at the workshops is essential to understand the subject, which is cumulative in nature. This is what creates the permanent dialogue required for this course. Although work may be prepared or finalised at home, the majority of the work, in terms of discussion, exploration and validation, will take place in the workshop. Participation in the workshops is conditional upon attendance at the presentations and students providing their materials.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Hybrid teaching, combining distance learning (theory) and in class teaching (practical).

Assessment methods and criteria

Continuous assessment: - during the year on the basis of work carried out in the workshop (50%) This work should be submitted on the eCampus platform for the following session in order to be evaluated (definitive evaluation). In the event that a student does not submit work within the deadline (without justification), a grade of 0 will be given for the exercise in question. - at the end of the term on the basis of individual work to be submitted during the examination session (50%).
The following evaluation criteria will be applied: - compliance with instructions - value of the work (in the case of personal exercises) - accuracy and coherence - graphic quality and presentation Students who do not submit material may be penalised.
Students for whom this unit makes up residual credits in their curriculum are exempt from following the workshop sessions, on the condition that they meet the following provisions: - they make contact with one of the teaching staff at the start of the year, and are given agreement in writing - they have attended no less than 80% of workshops during the previous year - they have submitted individual work during the examination session, after work being monitored on at least two occasions by a member of the teaching staff.

Work placement(s)

Organizational remarks

Theoretical presentations and instructions for exercises are available on the eCampus platform one week before the date of the corresponding practical application session. Practical sessions are organised in three groups, by prior registration which is conditional upon having read the theoretical presentation on eCampus.
In total, 12(x3) practical application sessions lasting two hours (in class) will be organised. Location: Outremeuse, ground floor workshop. Students are requested to comply with the timetable of the group with which they are registered. They are asked to respect the equipment and premises made available to them, they agree to use recycling facilities and make sure they leave the workshop tidy and disinfect the work surfaces. In line with the government guidelines in force, it is compulsory to wear a mask throughout class. Any students who do not comply with this directive will be refused access to the workshop and will be asked to leave the session accordingly.
The drawing equipment that is described at the start of the year is required at each workshop session. Students who do not have their equipment will not be allowed to take part in the workshop. Drawings will be prepared carefully and accurately using instruments. All pencil construction marks should be left.
