Visualise! - Perception for Architects is set within the context of visual perception and phenomenology and illustrated with a series of case studies of architectural representations. The course examines each technique from its origins to its contemporary application in architecture and provides an in-depth understanding of how and why they have a defining impact on the design process and the built outcome.
Indicative Content
Each lecture examines one representational technique from its origins to its contemporary application.They will range from the emergence of drawing as an empirical instrument to more abstract representations in form of prints and paintings. Further, the use of photography, cinematography as well as collages and montages as mass media are examined. The role of text and graphics in architecture will be discussed before examining the notions of interface, interactivity and diagram in the context of architectural design, mediation and production.
