ARCHITECTURAL GEOMETRY AND MODELING (AGM)

 
 

SEMESTER 1 / 5 ECTS / MANDATORY SEMINAR

Course description

The course is an introduction to the theme of architectural representation and its twofold nature as a design and analytical instrument. The students gain a geometrical understanding of form, and the underlying mathematical principles of bi-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes and spaces, as well as main representation techniques. The course aims to develop skills, and methods, and provide a theoretical understanding of architectural representation, with a special focus on contemporary media.
