Methods of Architectural Design
Description: The issues of interdisciplinary complex and problematic, regional and research, laboratory and other methods of architectural design are studied. Within the framework of the discipline, an analysis is made of teaching design methods for undergraduates, familiarity with the structure of architectural science, the change and parallel existence of various paradigms of architectural knowledge and related ideas on architecture and architectural design.

Goal
- formation of analytical professional consciousness among undergraduates, education of critical thinking, development of one's own idea of the creative method.
Objective
- to promote the development of methodological thinking among students.
- to promote the development of analytical thinking in undergraduates.
- to promote a systematic understanding of the pedagogical process; justify the scope of the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities in professional activity.
- to form knowledge about pedagogical technology as a holistic, systemic project of the pedagogical process;
- to promote the mastering of methods and techniques for stimulating independent scientific and cognitive activity by undergraduates, to the use of multimedia teaching aids.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
- basic methods of architectural design, paradigms of architectural science, the structure of architectural science;
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
- - the ability to correlate the dominant paradigm of architectural science with the methodology of architectural design, self-compilation of a design program for objects of varying degrees of complexity,
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
- the ability to formulate a promising task for arch-design and methodically provide the stages of its implementation;
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
- - understanding the role and significance of professional activity as a communication system between architecture, design and society;
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
- the ability to transform the design methodology depending on the task, as well as put forward new requirements, formulating new paradigms of architectural knowledge.
Teaching methods
Traditional technologies are provided for teaching: classroom studies and independent work of undergraduates. The lecture course is presented in a multimedia form. When presenting lecture material at the beginning and at the end of the lecture, motivational speech is used. In a lecture-presentation, text, audio and video information, graphs, tables are used
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.
| Period | Type of task | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 rating | Scheme of the disciplinary structure of the architectural education curriculum | 0-100 |
| Lecture notes | ||
| 2 rating | Experimental and laboratory design | 0-100 |
| Методический анализ архитектурного проектирования | ||
| Total control | Exam | 0-100 |
The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type
| Type of task | 90-100 | 70-89 | 50-69 | 0-49 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Excellent | Good | Satisfactory | Unsatisfactory |
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.
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:
| Alphabetical grade | Numerical value | Points (%) | Traditional grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | 95-100 | Excellent |
| A- | 3.67 | 90-94 | |
| B+ | 3.33 | 85-89 | Good |
| B | 3.0 | 80-84 | |
| B- | 2.67 | 75-79 | |
| C+ | 2.33 | 70-74 | |
| C | 2.0 | 65-69 | Satisfactory |
| C- | 1.67 | 60-64 | |
| D+ | 1.33 | 55-59 | |
| D | 1.0 | 50-54 | |
| FX | 0.5 | 25-49 | Unsatisfactory |
| F | 0 | 0-24 |
