Weekly outline

  • General


    Project Workshop 1 constitutes the first basis for students enrolled in 1st year architecture -engineering course, to introduce them to the fundamental principles of architectural drawing and the various representation techniques used by architects as well as the rules of composition and organization of planar geometric shapes and volumes. Besides acquiring technical skills, it helps the students to develop their artistic and intellectual abilities, imagination, and be creative at many levels. Additionally, it also helps them to develop their ability to read and analyze an architectural project and to present it graphically, orally and through written expressions.

  • Targeted skills


    By the end of this course, the student should be able to:

    Discover architecture, its language, its means and its representation techniques.

    Learn the lexicon of composition and organization.

    . Apply the modes of organization and transformation on geometric forms and volumes.

    Analyze an architectural project in its form and composition, which has the secondary objective of getting to know the great masters and their works.

    Create a well thought out volumetric composition.

  • Prerequisites

    Requirement - Free people icons
