Diploma Project - Module M5

FA-DP5Acad. year: 2015/2016

Creative studio work is the main and essential means of teaching architecture. It is based on the "learning by doing" method, i.e. gaining knowledge and skills by practical application. It consists in the dialogue of the teacher with the student over a project that is being developed. Thematically, it covers one of the six modules (M1-Urban architecture, M2 - Public buildings, M3- Architecture in the technical civilisation, M4- Architectural design in historical environment, M5- Post-industrial city…, M7 - Architectural space - interior). The modules are defined for each academic year and are listed in the study program.

Aims

By going through this subject and by submitting full set of self elaborated project or theoretic work the student will show universal orientation in problems of chosen topic and also his readiness to use gained theoretical and information and practical skills from existing study and also is able to conceptually use them in architectonic and urbanistic design.
The aim of this subject is to show in all important views the city problems /or urbanized country/ by individual work on chosen topic in the form of urbanistic composition. Also finding main problems concerning the task by evaluating research, determining priorities for own concept of spatial and functional arrangement, correct adjustment of final solution in graphical and digital form with supportive argumentation for proposal defence, convincing presentation form.
