Course description and aims
In the modern architectural design world, there are a variety of design competitions aimed at architects. These competitions expect and assess competitors on not just their basic competence in architectural design, but also whether their conceptualization of ideas and ability to present drawings are on a high level. This exercise deals with design competitions that students are eligible for as a simulation of real-world design, and aside from providing motivation for taking part in these design competitions, a review of the final submission enhances students' ability to explain with language.
Student learning outcomes
By taking with this course, the following skills are acquired. 1) Increased motivation to participate in design competitions 2) Enhanced conceptional ability and drawing creation skills when working alone, not in a group 3) Linguistic explanation skills in feedback sessions that serve as boards of review (English)
Keywords
Architectural design, Design competition, Ability of space conception
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Students are encouraged to take part in design competitions, to each decide on a problem, and create a project. A presentation review session is held for the final submission.
