Course Discription |
:
This course expands upon the visual elements and principles of design studied in Basic Design I as they apply to creating three-dimensional model making designs. The intent of Design II is to explore the thought processes and sensibilities to working three-dimensionally composition and quality performance in two-dimensional presentations through a series of assigned problems during the semester. A technical working vocabulary will be developed, discussed, and applied during the semester including: control point, line, surface (Plane), volume, space, mass, inclusion, composition, spatial relations, measurements, function, and construction, architectural design principles, human behavior and scale, architectural space and appreciation, design communication, aesthetic judgments, organization, circulation, Proportion & Scale, geometry/composition, threshold of inside and outside, proportion and scale, light and shadow, repetition, variation, order, scale and rhythm, types of spaces, elements of spaces, properties of form, edges and corners, defining space, configuration of the path, path-space relationships, ordering principles, axis, symmetry, hierarchy, transformation, Symmetrical and asymmetrical balance, color, texture, "Sculpturizing architecture" and "architecturalization of sculptures". |
