Geometry 1.1

Presentation

The Geometry 1.1. It is a subject committed to the graphical representation of space and objects in the context of architecture. Functioning as a grammar of drawing, it bridges the needs of architectural representation with projective systems: axonometric and multiple orthogonal projection. It develops in horizontal connection with the curricular units of drawing and architectural project, providing students with the theoretical and practical knowledge for the understanding and representation of space. In its operability of logical-deductive rigor, Geometry develops on the one hand, a practice of specific kind of representation, on the other, and in its continuity, establishes the fundamental scientific knowledge in the practice of drawing as an intellectual activity at the service of free representation and in the act of designing in architecture.

Recommended complementary curricular units

The Curricular Unit of Geometry1.1. adapting to the specific needs of architectural graphic representation, it is organized by establishing a principle of continuity with respect to the Descriptive Geometry and Drawing subjects of secondary education, which provide in their syllabus a set of knowledge that acts as a facilitating prerequisite.

Objectives

Acquire and master the concept of projection in different representation systems.

Understand geometry as a fundamental basis in drawing grammar for the representation of objects and space.

Develop mechanisms of spatial abstraction and logical-deductive deduction.

Develop critical, methodological and technical skills in the different processes of geometric transformations and their properties as a means of reading, construction, representation of objects, space, light.

Understand geometry as a critical and rigorous mental process with fundamental tools and techniques in the reading of space and the process of designing architecture.

Teaching methodologies and assessment

The program will be oriented trough theoretical, practical and tutorial classes.

Assessment is made with no final exam. Assessment is continuous and 75% of presence in classes are required. Evaluation is distributed between classroom performance and complementary work.

The performance in class is of daily evaluation. Complementary Work is an individual project where each student independently explores problems and solutions. This work is delivered at the end of the semester, but regular monitoring is mandatory for evaluation.

The final grade will be the weighted average of the exercises performed in the classes (60%) + complementary work (40%). Of these 40%, 35% are earmarked for regularity and the rest 65% are for the process and quality of results. In cases of exception where the student does not meet the attendance and / or does not reach the minimum objectives in the continuous assessment can apply for the 2^nd season exam.
