This meeting will take the form of a mini game, that will allow the participants to discover interesting facts about architecture’s key principles—functionality, safety, and aesthetic beauty.
The students will find out the meaning of such categories as proportion, contrast, and architectural dominant, before designing their own graphic plans of a street.
This classic architectural exercise will demonstrate how to transform a graphic street plan, executed during the previous class, into a three-dimensional model.
The class is based around the theme of master plans of metropolises, such as Moscow, New York or Rome, providing an understanding of how these large cities have been growing, and how their space has to be divided into zones.
The group will collectively execute a paper model of a city which will include transport infrastructure, residential housing blocks, cultural and business centers.
The final session of the course is devoted to eco-architecture. All participants will present and defend their individual projects in front of parents and other course students.
