Introduction to space modelling – combining the basics of composition theory with work on material at the Faculty of Architecture of Wrocław University of Science and Technology
Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2018, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
In the educational process of architecture students one of the essential problems is to make them aware of the importance of the concept composition – as a basic one for all artistic activity, especially for the architectural designing. This paper presents an element of this educational process which closely connects the theory with creative practice using different media, in order to realize the three-dimensional composition. Adequately chosen educational tasks, which have been introduced within the confines of composition-artistic block courses at the Faculty of Architecture of Wrocław University of Science and Technology at the primary level, are very helpful. In the paper a group of simple tasks and ways of their realization for the sake of introducing some elements of composition theory (its features, relationships, rules), used materials and technology of execution as well as some kinds of designing idea documentation is described. This paper also contains the report on the realization methodology of the next steps of these tasks and also described photos of chosen students’ work examples (plates, walls, solids). Realization of this group of educational tasks makes it possible to verify connections between the designed form, its construction and characteristics of material, it also allows to co-ordinate designing processes simultaneously – in two-dimensional notation (drawing, at all stages) and during modelling in real space. And so they are an important element of the future architects art technique.
