Studio Brief
Introduction to Design is a student’s first exposure to Architecture through a series of design exercises. Students explore compositions with basic elements, such as lines, planes and volumes. The studio starts with a 2D exercise with lines and concludes with a 3D dimensional Abstraction of a Film. In the process, students explore a series of media from graphite to sculpting with found materials. In addition, they are also introduced to precedents in Architecture and asked to analyze and formulate abstractions of them using the fundamental elements of design previously learned.
Learning Outcomes
Express different concepts and design ideas in graphical format.
Identify the different characteristics of basic design elements such as lines, primary shapes and forms.
Apply the aesthetic principles of basic design to create various compositions.
Improve analytical and innovative thinking ability.
Develop the skills of using different media (digital and others, whenever possible) to show both two and three-dimensional expressions of basic design compositions.
