課程大綱(Course Outline)

Horses gallop, birds fly, architects draw. Learning design through drawing has been, and continues to be, the most fundamental method of studying architecture. This introductory course in architecture graphics is premised on the following agendas. First, to develop tacit knowledge for visual communication in architecture through drawing. Second, to exercise the use of drawing as an instrument for active seeing and thinking. These agendas aim to heighten students’ sensibility of the drawing process and enable them to create inventively with the conventions of architectural language. The course is sequenced in three episodes: drawing by observation; drawing through projection; drawing as analysis. Each episode exposes the students to drawing assignments designed to enhance the student’s ability to see (observe), imagine (project) and probe (analyse). Each episode will intersect with in-class drawing assignments, lectures and activies outside the classroom.
