Prerequisite Modules:

AR4025

Rationale and Purpose of the Module:

In this module students develop skills in 3-dimesnional modelling using the computer, in conjunction with continuing studies in physical modelling. Switching between digital and analogue modes of representation, e.g. models, drawings, digital photography, FormZ, Rhino, and SketchUP, programmes will be explored as tools of transformation and spatial, logical, and structural exploration.

Syllabus:

Widening the pallet of modes of representation that the student must master, 3-dimensional modelling is taught as a tool of spatial investigation and representation, this course consists of three different types of drawing exercises: Moving actively between analogue and digital modes of representation, students will develop their ideas between media, exploiting the most powerful aspects of each in terms of their design. Students will develop in parallel their model making skills.

Learning Outcomes:

Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)

By the end of the module students should: * Be able to use a number of 3-d modelling programmes, FormZ, Rhino, and Sketchup. * Be able to move ideas between digital and analogue modes of representation * Have developed their use of 3 dimensional representation and modelling as a conceptual tool, a method of developing a conceptual structure, developing drawing as a form of thought. * Have developed their use of 3 dimensional modelling as a representation tool, exploring ideas through 3 dimensional modelling. * Understand and master the conventions of architectural representation and demonstrating knowledge of the skills necessary to use these conventions
