Title

Architectural Design

Code

6TP68ADCXN

Prerequisites

Architectural studies, small scale house planning.

Description

The aim of the course is to prepare the plans of a typical town house: A multi-level building with residential function. The planning will take place on a site where the urban tissue gives a very strong context. This character given by the enviroment provides restrictions in the planning but at the same time inspires the forming of ideas.

The course is divided into 3 main sections, beginning with the conceptual plan in the scale of 1:500  - definition of the mass and the implementation of the house into the surrounding block.

The next section is the midterm plan, which should be presented in the 1:200 scale. This level determines the functional structure of the house: the number of flats inserted and their layout – by the system of stairways, elevators and corridors.

The third section of the course is both about  the interior and exterior details. We approach the design deep into particulars, of how the designed space defines the life in the planned house and how its shaped on the outside in the context of composition and materials. The final plan should be given in in the 1:100 scale (floorplans, sections and facades).

During the semester the students should prepare a 1:500 scale paper model of the site in teams, and a 1:200 scale paper model of their own building.

Building with Vegetal Rods

Code

6KM64BWRER

Prerequisites

None

Description

Building with vegetal rods is one of the most ancient methods in construction. This practice can reposition itself in contemporary landscape architecture as applicable plants are available in abundance and can be harvested regularly. Due to the extreme resistance of vegetal rods to tensile stresses very lightweight structures can be devised which are easy to handle even by a single person. During the course students explore a wide range of practices from weaving craft and structural solutions that provide inventive solutions for landscape architectural tasks. The practice takes place at the Faculty’s Botanical Gardens in Szarvas, on the week 19-23 September.

Basic knowledge of garden design

Description

The course is an intersection between landscape architecture and the social sciences. The course is based on the ideas that as landscape architects we have unique opportunities to solve social and environmental problems that plague our cities. We focus on public space design and community at several scales, from community gardens to urban parks. During the course we focus on these questions:

        How can we as designers contribute to social justice and sustainability in our urban communities?

        How can we use our skills and knowledge as designers to work with communities to create interactive, vibrant green spaces that truly meet the criteria of being the "living room of the city"?

        How can we design common spaces in a way that makes the people who use them feel a sense of ownership and responsibility for them?

Introduction to Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

Code

6TF63GISCXN

Prerequisites

No prerequisites needed

Description

Geography is the science of our world.  Coupled with GIS, geography is helping us to better understand the earth and apply geographic knowledge to a host of human activities. Geographic information system (GIS), geographical information system, or geospatial information system is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to location(s). In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology. GIS can integrate and relate any data with a spatial component, regardless of the source of the data.  GIS is a technological field also that incorporates geographical features with tabular data in order to map, analyze, and assess real-world problems.  The key word to this technology is geography.  The use of geospatial technologies is far more widespread these days.  GIS is being used in many different industries and the skills required have evolved over the years.

In this semester we start by taking a general “what is GIS” theme. This is important because it is important to understand the general concepts in GIS before actually attempting some of the functionality. After that we go into details of ArcGIS software methods (data entry, digitalisation, database building, topology building etc.) The end of the semester will be terrain modelling and the visualization of the results of spatial analysis

Prerequisites

Basics of Landscape and Open space Design, basic knowledge of Photoshop

Description

The aim of the course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of quick methods of preliminary, conceptual design for public open spaces.

The course is divided into two main sections, preparation of different projects by the students and a theoretical part.

The subject is very design oriented. The students prepare many (4 or 5) design-projects on preliminary level, and will present them every second week. The sites are usually small parks or squares in Budapest. Because of the short deadline, there are no consultations, but the evaluation of the preliminary design is during class, right after each presentation.

The theoretical part (every second week) consists of lectures about different aspects of design, like landscape character; importance of horizontal elements, verticals and overhead plane in creating three-dimensional spaces; the flow of pedestrian traffic in a public open spaces; importance of existing vegetation at urban sites; importance and evaluation of existing built space walls, buildings, especially in historical environment.

Urban Memory

Code

6TP68URMECXN

Prerequisites

Basic Urban Design skills and practice required

Description

The aim of the course is to teach a certain way of seeing and recognizing the embedded values of the city, and to understand the layering of the urban texture in time and character.

Historical layers upon each other, as the sum of changes and events are what shape up todays cities. Both historical and contemporary interferences leave marks on the urban enviroment, forming the current identity of it. Preserving buildings and spaces is a way of preserving urban identity – the  memory of the city. Integrating contemporary shapes and standards lucidly becomes possible by aknowledging, using  and re-inventing these values and memories.

By analyzing the motives, formation, growth and changes impacted by historical events in certain cities, we can percieve processes of urban change and source of design instruments and shapes.

In this class students will learn through the example of Budapest by searching and studying the examples in given topics. The task is to find hidden layers and values in the maze of the city through different examinations. The work should be performed in two dimensions : by research and by visual creation. Both photography and visual arts are suggested for the expression of proposition.

The final project will be the summation of the work through the semester bound in one booklet.
