Sketching: Similar to Arch103, you are asked to bring your sketchbooks to each studio class, and we will pursue our  sketching sessions at the start of our classes. These sessions aim to furnish the students with an analytical vision to  the formal aspects of the architectural products and drawing abilities to depict these formal characteristics in free  hand. 

Introduction of new projection systems and further applications of the ones covered in Arch 103: Orthographic  and paraline drawings are already covered. Perspective drawings, composite drawings such as plan/section isometrics, exploded or expanded drawings are amongst the further applications to be covered in spring.

Basic Computer Aided Drawing and Modelling programs will be introduced to be further developed in the Arch  203 and Arch 204 courses.

Architectural Representation: The projection systems introduced in the fall and spring semesters are to be used in  the term project: “Representation of a small building”. Students are expected to form groups in order to represent  architecture and to get acquainted with its basic drawing conventions, norms and scales of the profession. Conceptual  and architectural digital models will be constructed as a group work. Besides equipping the students with technical  facets of graphic communication, this term project is to be conceived as a hands-on introduction into the culture of  architecture.
