Studio - FREE ASSIGNMENT I
FA-AT4Acad. year: 2020/2021
Creative studio work is the main and essential means of teaching architecture. It is based on the "learning by doing" method, i.e. gaining knowledge and skills by practical application. It consists in the dialogue of the teacher with the student over a project that is being developed.

Co-requisites
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching methods depend on the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The following design components are evaluated:
– Place, interpretation, analysis, synthesis, idea;
– Processes, operation;
– Materiality, structure, construction;
– Form, arrangement;
– Presentation, adjustment, defence;
– Student's approach to project processing.
The weight of individual components is determined by the supervisor.
It is mandatory to submit the project at the architectural-urban study level, which includes:
– text (including background, analyses, objectives, principles and concept of design, construction and operation diagram)
– documentation of working sketches and photo documentation of working models
– the situation of wider relations
– the situation
– floor plans of individual floors
– sections
– elevations
– spatial representation of the designed object incl. context of the place
– the spatial representation of the interior if appropriate
– model (including photo documentation)
Mandatory attachments can be specified in more detail by the supervisor in the assignment. The assignment must be published on the FA Intranet at the same time as the topic annotations (before students register).
The classification scale is given in Art. 14 of the BUT Study and Examination Regulations. The recommended classification is as follows:
– A: excellent proposal with personal contribution, all aspects and components of the proposal must by excellent
– B: very good proposal or excellent proposal with some partial lacks
– C: good design, craft correct
– D: craftly correct design with partial deficiencies
– E: sufficient design, fulfilment of all assigned tasks, designed object is stable, does not show danger to stability, life and health, meets legislative requirements (standards)
Works that do not comply with the minimum requirements (specified in classification E) are rated as failed.
Course curriculum
The framework timetable consists of the following headings:
– location analysis and assignment
– work on concept
– 1st criticism
– work on urban design, architectural, functional and construction solutions
– 2nd criticism
– finalizing the project
– work on project presentation
– final public presentation in front of the jury
Schedule incl. deadlines can be specified by the supervisor in the assignment. The assignment must be published on the FA Intranet at the same time as the topic annotations (before students register).
