3. TEACHING METHODS
Lectures – multimedia lectures, use of multiple mechanisms of diverse methodological approaches
Projects – discussion, individual design consultations, review of project work progress, presentations
4. METHODS OF EXAMINATION
Lectures – two stage exam: written test and oral pronouncement, oral part conditionally (on good results of
the test)
Projects - preparation of the semester project preceded by submission of partial exercises (project
components) - with obligation to provide adequate stage of the project on project review (after half of
semester)
5. COURSE CONTENT
The concept of a house as a spatial environment, space, an object; The
importance of a house - space psychology aspects, a relationship between a
user and a house; The analysis of a house design problems; Types of detached
houses and typological significance for design process; Typologies of single
family houses and their receptive characteristics; Programming of a single family
house; architectural criteria and user’s needs; Harmony of a house and its
surroundings versus its individualization; Site development as a formation base
of a harmonious space; Legal basis for architectural development of single family
houses; Basic structural schemes in the single-family house designing – simple
and complex systems; Technical equipment of a house and its impact on the
project scope; Single-family house experimenting;
Introduction to the exercises, discussing how to carry out individual tasks and
forms of completion and assessment criteria; Analysis of the user types; Analysis
of individual residential zones; Formation of space and object form which are
based on location conditions; Determination of a relationship between the project
and the environment; Analysis of availability of area in terms of communication.
Analysis of site location in relation to the four points of compass; Presentation of
inspiration sources and ideas exploration; Individual approach to the project
subject; Coherence of the design idea, form and function including the object
location; Translating ideas into architectural form; Determination of an internal
space based on an application program (zoning and specific individual needs of
the recipient); Influence of an internal forming method on an external form;
Functional and spatial solutions based on an application program and a current
analysis; Influence of site location on design solutions; Design solutions in the
design process; Application of appropriate technologies to proper construction
solutions; Selection of material solutions; Elevation creating by selecting
materials; Solutions of architectural details; Preparation of space development
project in relation to the object location with regard to the communication
