Diploma Project - production of and Final Examination (Defence of Project) - Integrated MSc Degree Course
course description
In accordance with the unified faculty requirements, the course aims at the evaluation of the students' preparedness and their aptitude for individual conceptual creativity and comprehensive architectural design activities. During the semester, the independent work and the preparation for the Diploma Thesis Defense is assisted by weekly consultation opportunities, and midterm group presentations.
Students hosted at the Department of Graphics Form and Design are expected to present their design ideas in an outstanding graphical quality (both with manual and hybrid graphics) at each phase of the design process, and a graphical portfolio summary of the entire design evolution (from the initial sketches to the final artistic visualizations) is a compulsory component of the final thesis. The overall graphics of the final presentation shall be clean, informative but also elegant, graphically refined and well indicating the visual character of the building. The midterm presentation shall include a sample illustration of the proposed final graphics. On demand, and depending on capacity and availability, the department's workshop can provide technical assistance in the production of the final scale models. The final thesis shall include 2 A3 size hard copies (bound portfolio), and a digital copy (bound pdf) of all pages of the exhibited works. In case of a projected presentation the department will provide the infrastructure and technical assistance.
The course concludes with a department evaluation and semester mark. Successful completion of the course is a compulsory condition of the receipt of the Absolutorium. Present description is a valid binding supplement of the provisions of the above faculty diploma regulation.
