Exploring the influence of light on form and space. Developing the ability to synthesise on the basis of analysis of phenomena and forms observed in nature. To become familiar with the basic elements of the sculpture workshop.

Examples of issues:

  • contrast of light and shadow; drawing study of light based on observation of a single object,
  • light in interiors and architectural space; painting,
  • sculpture: bust - interpretation; creative realisation of a task based on observation of a model.

The course is aimed at students of the 3rd semester of engineering studies in the field of Architecture. It is an introductory course to Urban Design. Students learn the basic concepts and principles related to town planning, urban design and urban composition. Students learn the methods of analyzing urban space and the basic principles of design during theoretical and practical classes, designing an urban composition for a specific urban area.

Architectural project III, 2024/25

The lectures are aiming to provide the students with the general understanding of the vernacular architecture, landscape, future, resilience and history.

Summer practice - rural analysis, works on the map, in a terrain and with the people and subsequent Design Studio in winter semester of 2024/25

Architectural project III

During the course students will learn how to use BIM (Building Information Modelling) tools to model the project site and to develop preliminary design concept.
Students will work in pairs or groups, using Autodesk Revit software for terrain, site and building modelling.

DREAM HOUSE – Space for Living: Between the Idea and the Sea
Gdynia, Kamienna Góra, Korzeniowskiego Street

The task for this project is to design a contemporary single-family house located in the prestigious district of Gdynia, surrounded by exclusive villas,
with a stunning view of the sea. How can you offer  the dream home for future residents? The starting point will be to define the future residents of the house so that the "space for living" aligns with their passions and preferences, guarantees contact with the beautiful landscape.

The metaphor method will be employed to guide the design process. Conceptual design of a single-family residential house based on the chosen initial idea (motto + graphic
sign) identifying the future residents. Abstract idea will lead you to create a unique house by the sea.

The single-family house design includes site development of the project plot, coordinated with the
designer of the neighboring plot. This involves pair work related to agreeing on the design concerning the
building form, so as the site development.
