Information sheet about the semester program as a pdf-Datei

In the winter semester 2021/2022, all students have to work on and hand in three exercises, which are prepared in lectures and tutorials. The tasks of the exercises to be worked on are published in the OLAT course on the date of issue (see information sheet).

In order to pass the module / sub-module, the successful completion of the three exercises (at least grade 4.0 in each exercise) and the passing of the exam are required.

Examples of the 1st exercise on the topic: From 2D figures to 3D objects and their 2D representation

A spatial composition was developed from the 2D outline figure. The high variety of possible solutions show the problems of spatial thinking with the help of two-dimensional drawings. The designed 3D composition was presented in a cardboard model, in drawings of assigned othogonal views, an axonometry and a digital 3D model by SketchUp. In this way the students should get aware of the spatial interpretation of the 2D drawings.

Examples of the 2nd exercise on the topic: Intersection and unfolding of solids

The task was to develop a spatial composition of three planar bounded solids: two pyramids and a prism, creating lines of intersection between the solids. The shape of one pyramid was given. The other pyramid could have a triangular or square base, the prism a triangular base with vertical or horizontal edges. The intersections of the three solids were to be constructed in 2D drawings, the true shape of the various surfaces was to be determined with the intersection lines, and the unfolding was to be drawn as a mesh, as contiguous as possible, with adhesive edges.

Examples of the 3rd exercise on the topic:  axonometries with light and shadow 

The residential house of Lina Bo Bardi in São Paulo "Casa de Vidro", built in 1950-52, was given in floor plans, elevations and sections and had to be presented in different axonometric variations with light and shadow using a realistic position of the sun. A construction and presentation drawing was required in each case.

Variant A: Overall axonometry - overall layout of the residential building, location on the hillside

Variant B: Horizontal sectional axonometry - upper floor including furnishings, reference to outdoor space

Variant C: Vertical sectional axonometry - access to the building, location on the hillside

Variant D: Vertical sectional axonometry - atrium, location on the hillside, reference exterior/interior
