COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon the completion of the course, students will have demonstrated basic
understanding of fundamental issues related to architectural design such as the notion
of space, form, use, site, and construction, acquired knowledge of architectural design
in relation to space, form, use, site, and construction at a fundamental level, mastered
basic model-making, graphic and computer aided design skills to conceive, study,
explore, articulate, and present design ideas, and developed a method of work from
conception to realization at a fundamental level of complexity.

Principles of Architecture
The following list was developed to establish some fundamental precepts basic to
understanding architecture. While each lesson emphasizes certain principles, there may
be aspects of all of the principles in each of the lessons.

Design is accomplished by composing the physical characteristics of size, shape,


texture, proportion, scale, mass and color.
Order is the arrangement and organization of elements to help solve visual and
functional problems.

Visual relationships are determined by light, shadow, edges and contrast.

Balance is the creation of visual harmony through the use of color and the manipulation
of form.

Form follows function is a design approach where the form of the building is
determined by the function of its spaces and its parts.

Nature is a model for architectural forms and shapes.

Mass creates form, which occupies space and brings into being a spatial articulation.

Symbolism is an important means of visual communication for architecture.

Visual thinking is a key to awareness of the built environment.

Sustainable design of the built environment protects the natural environment.

Social structure, culture and the built environment have a direct influence on one
another.

Design is experienced through human sensory perception.

The creative process is basic to design.

Aesthetics is the artistic component of architecture.

Climate and the natural environment influence design decisions.

Architecture satisfies emotional and spiritual needs in addition to physical needs.

Past, current and future technologies influence design decisions.
