General information:

Category	Academic-general educative
Scientific or art field	Geometric Space Theory and Interpretation in Architecture and Urbanism
ECTS	4

Developing the ability of space visualization, space imagination and the ability to solve problems of various mutual relationships of geometric forms on the two-dimensional (2D) representation in parallel projection.

Ability to identify and interpret spatial relationships of examined space forms out of corresponding 2D views and mastering their geometric structures, as well as the ability of graphic representation of examined three-dimensional (3D) configurations in 2D media.

BASIC ELEMENTS OF THE SPATIAL VISUALIZATION. Projections, views and images' types of basic geometric forms (points, lines, planes). The criteria for obtaining characteristic views and position of the object (transformation and rotation) for the sake of direct detection of metric properties and spatial relationships of forms. Concepts of visibility. Application to the complex forms (plane figures, polyhedral, solids of revolution, etc.). VISUALIZATION OF GEOMETRIC STRUCTURE OF COMPLEX 3D FORMS. Criteria for plane sections' and mutual interections analysis of pencil-line generated surfaces (polyhedrals and parabolic quadrics) and surfaces of revolution; characteristic elements of this sections. Visibility concepts and visual realism.

Lectures. Graphic-auditory Practice. Tutorials.
