Architectural Combinatorics and Ergonomics

Description: The discipline is aimed at studying the conceptual and formal principles of shaping architectural objects based on combinatorics (modularity, transformation, associative image, combinations, etc.) in relation to ergonomic aspects and their practical application in modern architectural and urban design practice.

Objective

• basic knowledge of the principles, techniques of architectural combinatorics, as well as the ergonomic formation of elements and complexes of the subject content of the environment;
• master the methods of design thinking aimed at creating a humane living environment;
• study of the conceptual and formal principles of shaping architectural objects based on combinatorics (modularity, transformation, associative image, combinations.
• master the research of ergonomic sensation in the system "man-environment", "man-equipment-environment".

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• a continuous process of personality development in the process of professional work.

Teaching methods

lectures, watching videos, working on the Internet using the links provided; laboratory work on educational topics; independent work of students in the learning process.

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.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

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:

 

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

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
