Objectives of the Course
|
Understanding the border between architecture, fine arts, and product design, while encouraging work in the overlapping areas.
Understanding the creation methods of architecture and art with digital design and automated production.
Applying different techniques, tools, and materials to produce models, mock-ups, and prototypes.
Applying 3D modelling techniques with Rhino3d and Sketchup.

Course Content
|
This course is an introduction to Model Making -the act of producing real 3D representations of buildings or objects-, which embraces different applications, scales, materials and techniques. It encourages the research and discovery of new ways of making and representing the architectural model through a combination of fine arts and digital production.
The course challenges students to solve a given brief across a series of short exercises that combines theory and practice. To increase the awareness to the production process, variable exercises (including techniques like digital 3D drawings, embossing, etching, carving, molding and casting) are conducted through experimentation and manufacturing.

Course Methods and Techniques
|
Learners will be provided with as much opportunities of hands-on practice as possible with the aim of striking a balance between learner-centeredness and sufficient guidance. Various forms of interaction (i.e. pair work and group work) will also be encouraged to cater for learners with different learning styles. Additionally, individuals will be expected to produce both in-class writings and homework assignments in addition to the reading tasks, which will encourage them to reflect and think critically. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.
