Component: Component by selection

Cycle: Base disciplines

Goal
  • Study the specific features of architectural styles and stylistic trends in their systematic and evolutionary development with the application of grapho-analytical analysis of facades, sections and plans of buildings, complexes and structures
Objective
  • - study of the evolution of architecture and the disclosure of links with the architecture of previous eras; -mastering of basic compositional, structural, tectonic laws on the example of historical architectural works; - study of the laws of architectural forms in historical development and their influence on modern architecture.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
  • Know and understand the logical development of the architectonics of buildings, structures, and building types at a particular historical stage.
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
  • Integrate knowledge of the features of architectural styles in the design process.
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
  • Examine and compare architectural monuments, explain the logic of the development of the architectonics of buildings and structures.
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
  • Apply the acquired knowledge and professional terminology to work with customers and colleagues.
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
  • Use the acquired knowledge, professional terms and concepts in further training.
Teaching methods

When conducting training sessions, the following educational technologies will be used: - problem lecture; - interactive lecture (application of the following active forms of learning: guided (guided) discussion or conversation); - experimental and empirical methods of creativity; - individual independent approach to the work.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

  • 40% of the examination result;
  • 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6 MT1+MT2 +0,4E
2

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.
