4341 Geometrical Representations: Geometric Principles in Architectural Representation
1st Semester AR
ECTS : 3
Language : el, en
Learning Outcomes : Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1) Design geometrically complex objects parametrically using methods of descriptive geometry, 2) Represent them visually, 3) Modify them parametrically, and 4) Construct them physically through the development (unfolding) of their surfaces.
Specifically, students will have developed the following skills:
• Ability to represent complex geometric forms and solve spatial geometric problems using interactive graphical methods, without relying on 3D CAD software
• Ability to construct physical three-dimensional solid forms from flat surfaces through spatial transformations and surface unfoldings
• Understanding and application of basic principles of parametric design
• Development of visual acuity, information visualization, and communication skills
• Collaboration with peers in the geometric analysis and design approach of complex spatial forms
This course teaches fundamental concepts of descriptive geometry, mathematical-analytical reasoning, and parametric design, and their application in designing and constructing 3D objects from flat surfaces. It focuses on interactive graphical methods of geometric representation using orthographic and perspective projections with the aid of computers, and establishes the theoretical foundation for geometric modeling, parametric design, and computational thinking in the semesters that follow. Emphasis is placed on spatial correspondences between two and three dimensions, spatial transformations, and constructions of developable surfaces.
