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.

You'll learn how to analyse the different kinds of daylight to significantly improve the living experience by enhancing the subtle interplay of light and shadows. This includes how to configure the overall massing of the building, through to the nature and positioning of the fenestration - without having to number crunch! We also deal with the basic errors most designers consistently make.

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

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.
