DESIGNING CREATIVELY WITH DAYLIGHT :
|
|
Activity Title: |
DESIGNING CREATIVELY WITH DAYLIGHT |
|
Description |
This
is an interactive live online course, via Zoom, that gives you a practical
and aesthetic foundation to the key Principles and Rules of Thumb for
designing with natural light.
All
successful designs have mastered the play of natural lighting across surfaces
and through volumes.
The
course covers material not taught at university or Technikon! Expect the unexpected!
“This course has been massively
informative. The ability to stretch our thoughts into seeing the way we do
what I always thought to be ordinary things in a unique way, has been very
inspiring. Fresh insight into light (and dark).” Jerome Starkey |

DESIGNING WITH PROPORTIONS :
|
|
Activity Title: |
DESIGNING WITH PROPORTIONS |
|
Description |
Elegant proportions are everywhere: nature, buildings and our own
bodies. They make life worth living for.
As there is
lawfulness in musical intervals, there is lawfulness in the proportions of
beautiful buildings. Refined proportions are not random. Without a deeper
understanding it's guessing. You can significantly enhance your designs
using the principles of proportioning. Throughout history all great
architects and painters used different proportioning systems. Life can become
a lot more interesting than a grid!
This 4-week
online course will combine mathematical principles and exercises to enhance
your design process and tune your intuition when it comes to aesthetics. We will be
working with a range of proportioning systems: Cubit, Fractals, Musical
Proportions, Root Proportions, Golden Section and more. It’s different
from any other course you’ve done: it's mentally engaging, creative, out of
the box, and you'll be making models, working on real projects, sharing with
fellow designers and taking part in open discussions.
“Attending the Proportions “Experience” has been
a challenge I've truly loved. Keith has opened up a world of possibilities
for dreaming of and designing harmonious living spaces with all the
tools to use. I highly recommend this compelling course.” Georgie Taylor
