TY Architecture Week with Victoria Kavanagh

WHY AN INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURE IS ESSENTIAL

It is so encouraging that there are opportunities for more people to learn about and appreciate architecture, since it like the saying “It takes a village to raise a child” you could also say “It takes architecturally aware villagers to raise a beautiful village.” Architects are designers and enablers for clients who want to build. So the better informed the clients and the population in general is about urban planning and architecture, the better the possibilities are for successful projects. So even if most of the students who are learning about architecture do not intend to become architects, an introduction to the subject is essential.
 
 HOW THE WORK PROGRESSED FROM DAY TO DAY
On Monday we revised the way measuring and drawings are essential to Architecture and on Tuesday learned to read plans and to use scale to find the elevations. On Wednesday students drew their bedrooms at scale 1:50 and made a perspective drawing. On Thursday they sketched the Bank of Ireland front court in 1 point and on Friday they designed a week-end cabin in Wicklow, drawing it  plain and elevation.
