Summary

Students will learn to adjust the drawing documentation of the building in the form of an architectural study, become familiar with iconic buildings for housing, the basics of composition, the principles of ecological, passive buildings, the basics of the circular economy in the construction industry, typology and ergonomics through the analysis of an existing architectural work. Mastering the subject requires mastering the basic methods of manual drawing as well as basic digital methods, mastery of expressing oneself in the form of construction drawings, a poster, a physical model and oral presentation of the work.

The learning outcome is the ability to understand the basic principles of architectural design, analyse simple architectural works, and produce a basic architectural study, including its presentation through graphic, model-based, and verbal outputs.
