Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The subject relates to 2D and 3D virtual reality.  The student,  through a guided practice, is aimed to apply graphic tools in the explanation of the representation of architectural elements. The students  needs to understand them, and to be able, within limits, to establish its own system of presentation, using universal codes for exchange architectural information.

5.2. Learning tasks

The course is structured in theoretical sessions of 1 h duration, and practice sessions of workshop of 3 h of duration along all the weeks of the semester.

Theoretical sessions will explain the necessary content to enable students to develop their course work. Students should form small teams. They should choose or provide a modern or contemporary, relevant building by its design, program, author, etc., from which to obtain documentation sufficient for its representation. The choice of the building will be discussed with the teacher in the first sessions workshop, to decide  its adaptation to exercise.

And from there, both theoretical teaching and practical sessions are structured in three blocks. The student will complete three deliverables described in the section "evaluation".
