Study Trip Guidelines for Students

Based on the lectures, students should analyze the following aspects during the trip:

1. Topographical Setting, Datum, and Material Study:


Examine how the buildings interact with the natural landscape. Focus on the terrain
(topography) and how it influences the placement and orientation of structures. Study the
datum, or reference level, used in the design, and observe the materials used in construction
- how they affect the building's form and function. Document the topographical setting with
sketches and notes. Identify key materials used in the structures and analyze how they are
integrated into the design. Create a diagram that shows the relationship between the
building and its site.

2. Elements of Space:
Analyze how spaces are defined using architectural elements such as walls, columns,
floors, windows, and doors. Study how these elements work together to shape interior and
exterior spaces and guide movement within the site. Choose a specific structure and
diagram the key spaces, noting how elements like vertical and horizontal planes are used to
define these areas. Explain how the arrangement of these elements influences the
experience of the space.

3. Form Transformation Analysis:


Examine how forms have been modified or transformed in the design. Look for techniques
such as addition, subtraction, twisting, or shifting of forms, and how these transformations
affect the overall composition and function of the building. Identify examples of form
transformation on-site and create sketches showing the original form and the
transformations applied. Describe how these transformations enhance the building's design
or purpose.

4. Distance of Appreciation, Human Scale, and Proportion:


Study how the perception of the building changes when viewed from different distances—far,
mid-range, and up close. Also, analyze how the building’s scale relates to the human body
and how proportions are designed to create a sense of harmony or grandeur. Choose a
building and observe it from multiple distances. Document your findings with sketches and
notes on how the building’s details and overall form change with distance. Also, analyze how
the scale of doors, windows, and other elements compares to the human body, and describe
how this affects the user experience.

5. Study and Application of Design Principles:


Focus on how design principles such as balance, rhythm, symmetry, contrast, and hierarchy
have been applied within the form and spaces of the buildings. Look at how these principles
guide the user’s experience and create visual harmony or intentional contrasts within the
architecture. Analyze a specific building or space and identify how design principles have
been applied. Create diagrams or sketches highlighting examples of symmetry, balance,
rhythm, or contrast within the structure. Discuss how these principles influence the spatial
experience and the overall design coherence.

The students can work on more ideas and any aspects related to architecture during the trip.
