Department of experimental design (UET)

The course aims to develop students´ ability to independently create an architectural and/or urban design of various types of structures meeting a wide range of requirements on operation and corresponding number of functions, an/or a masterplan with adequate operational, structural and urban relations, depending on the student's choice.
Assignments may include:
– interior design, scenography, and exhibition design;
– complex public buildings;
– urban design of whole settlements, landscape design, urban planning;
– renovation including heritage conservation;
– experimental assignment.
– Students will acquire the ability to create an architectural and operational design for various types of buildings meeting a wide range of requirements on operation and corresponding number of functions.
– Depending on the type of assignment, students will acquire the principles of masterplanning and the corresponding operational, structural and urban design relations.
– Students will know the basic standard requirements for designing buildings and will be able to apply them in the design.
– Students will acquire the ability to produce documentation for architectural or urban study.
– Students will be able to adequately select a structural system suitable for designing the given building or a complex of buildings.
– Students will be able to understand the context of the place and to reflect it in their design.

The project is assigned and evaluated by the project supervisor. The project is specified by the supervisor in the “list of studio topics” and optionally in “project assignment”. This information is published in the Intranet FA before the students register.

It is compulsory to submit the project in the form of architectural study and to include (if the supervisor does not require otherwise):
– author's report (including the brief, analyses, aims, principles and the concept of the design, structural and operational schema),
– working sketches and photographs of working models,
– location plan,
– site plan,
– floor plans of individual storeys,
– sections,
– elevations,
– interior design,
– interior design detail at the scale 1:20 and more detailed,
– spatial rendering of the designed structure including its placement in the local context,
– spatial rendering of interior,
– physical model (including its photographs).
The project is submitted in printed and electronic form in accordance with the FA internal standard “Study rules”.
The required annexes can be further specified by the project supervisor in the “project assignment”.

The following components of the design are evaluated:
– place, interpretation, analysis, synthesis, idea;
– processes, operation;
– materiality, structure, construction;
– form, arrangement;
– presentation, adjustation, defence;
– student´s approach to the project elaboration.
The weight of individual components is defined by the supervisor.

The grading scale is given in Article 14 of the Study and Examination Rules of BUT. The recommended grading scale is the following:
– A: excellent project showing personal contribution, all aspects and components of the project are excellent
– B: very good project, or excellent project with partial deficiencies
– C: good project, skillfully designed and technically correct
– D: skillfully designed and technically correct project with partial deficiencies
– E: sufficiently developed project, with all assigned tasks completed, and complies with the legal requirements (standards)
The works which do not meet the minimal requirements (specified as E) are graded failed (grade F).
Students must attend one consultation a week at the times specified by their supervisor, two interim design critiques, and the final public presentation. Students must submit a design project that meets the requirements (further specified in the Course Evaluation section) and meet the submission deadline (specified in the internal guideline “Study Rules”).
The particular time schedule of the above mentioned compulsory lessons, or further compulsory participation, might be further specified by the project supervisor in the “project assignment”. The project assignment must be published in the Intranet FA simultaneously with the announcement of the topic description (before the registration of students).
In the case of a student's apology and with approval of the supervisor, personal participation may be substituted with online participation in the studio.
