ECTS	5

Developing spatial visualisation abilities, spatial imagination abilities, and ability of solving problems in various mutual spatial relations of three-dimensional (3D) geometric forms on two-dimensional (2D) presentation of parallel projection as a basis for 3D analysis of every 2D presentation.

Ability to identify and interpret spatial relations of the learnt spatial shapes from appropriate 2D presentations, as well as to know their geometric structures; ability for optimal graphic presentation of learnt 3D configurations via characteristic perspectives and spatial presentations on 2D media.

FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF SPATIAL VISUALISATION. Projecting, observation directions and types of images of basic geometrical forms (point, line, plane). Criteria for obtaining characteristic observations and positions on an object (transformation and rotation) with the aim of direct detection of metric characteristics and the recognition of spatial relations of an object. Concepts of visibility. Application on more complex forms (plane figures, polyhedral,solids of revolution, surfaces of constant slopes, roofs). FUNDAMENTALS OF STRUCTURE VISUALISATION IN DETERMINED PROJECTION. Real terrain, topographic surface, surfaces with constant slopes. Structures with accompanying fills and cuts. Cross sections/profiles in vertical projecting surfaces. Analysis on structure protection from atmospheric water.

Lectures. Graphic – auditory practice. Tutorials.
