COURSE DESCRIPTION

GDES 1B13
Solid and Void: Drawing Form and Space
0.50 Credit(s)
Studio
Working as a designer of the built environment requires a good understanding of drawing as a 2D visual language that describes 3D spaces and forms. This course focuses on building that understanding by exploring various kinds of architectural drawings - from plans, sections and elevations to axonometric and isometric views to perspective sketches. Key aims include an awareness of scale and confident freehand sketching as a tool for imagining, developing and communicating 3D projects. Light and shadow, form and space, surface and depth, stasis and movement… drawing can inform, reveal and communicate these crucial aspects of built form.
Notes: Required for Environmental Design students.
