Architectural Pre-entrance Programme (APREP)

COMPOSITION

Training course on fundamentals of architectural composition will develop learner range of skills, enabling them to proceed/solve emerging challenges by usual compositional topics of architectural art: create a composition of spaces, filled by necessary and affordable range of built/erected/thought out layouts of structures in the rural or urban environments. Physically courses will be performed by using three fold way of enhancing the necessary skills:

1. Introduction to the topic/theme, supplemented by visual presentations and additional anlytical materials submitted/
2. Guided sketching phase, where learners will show their preliminary tries to react to the theme of the given topic by submitting their ideas in an understandable way on paper, introducing their skills of professional language of formulation of ideas and their depiction in a dully understandable way, and
3. Home works, where learners will accomplish the works in given time span and requested depiction and idea formulation qualities

Practically the learners will reach necessary level of architectural graphics, in order be able to express themselves in dully understandable and creative way; the try is to be given to them to learn some modeling exercises; additionally they might be offered to use some interpretational tools to express their individuality while executing the exercises.
