Content

This module focuses on various architectural drawing and presentation techniques. These techniques are explored through visual research into the spatial properties and proportions of geometric forms and patterns in architecture. The emphasis is placed on both manual and digital presentations (2D and 3D), models, diagrams, symbols, and imagery (photography). These techniques are then applied in research into the ordering and composition of space and mass, in relation to architectural design and a set of fundamental architectural principles.
