The course provides an insight to fundamental building structures and their multifold roles in different contexts. Students study specific building structures from historical, technological, aesthetic and cultural/sociological perspectives by collecting and analysing relevant examples in buildings in Budapest. They summarise the acquired knowledge in a creative model building exercise at the end of the semester.

The course aims to equip students with the fundamental skills of freehand drawing in preparation for their regular drawing courses. Students this semester get familiar with the depiction of complex forms. They also begin getting acquainted with architectonic spatial compositions through the drawing of simple interiors.
