8.1 Course Teaching methods Observations
1. The Gestalt theory
regarding the mechanisms of
the visual perception process
For an active and participatory
training during the lecture, the
students are stimulated to make
comments, ask questions at any
time. The lectures use power
point presentation and the
images are explained by the
teacher.
In order to prepare the designing
activity, the students will listen to
a set of lectures, in the first week
of the year, which will give them
the ground for the composition
principles.
The first of them explains why
the composition principles need
to be complied with in the direct

8.2 Seminar/lab
Teaching methods Observations
In order to memorize the
notions introduced in the
lectures during the first week
of the academic year and
check their understanding, the
students will be asked to draft
a theoretical paper,
questionnaire-type, which will
be considered towards the
assessment of the project
number 1 in the first semester.
The theoretical papers will be
drafted on a template received
from the teacher. The students
will be asked to illustrate the
principles presented during the
lecture via images of some
architecture objects and
argument their choice by a short
comment. In addition to the
topic 1, they will have to fill out
a questionnaire with
information related to the folk
This type of project aims to have
the students read beforehand the
content of the lectures prior the
designing activity. This means a
better learning of the presented
notions.

architecture in our country.
8.3 Designing seminar
1. Project 1:
A trip to the Village Museum /
Mapping
The project is structured into
two stages : the first two
seminars will talk about a topic
and have a discussion about the
theoretical issues and work
instruments. The next seminars
will take place in the lab.
During the last seminar, the
students will present their
project during a debate where
all students are present.
It is a first contact of the students
with an architecture project. It
can be noticed the ability of
visual perception and their
knowledge in terms of expression
by artistic drawing and
photography.
2. Project 2:
Object / Territory
Idem Every student will be given a
fragement of territory that
belongs to Herastrau Park, which
will constitute the pre-existent
mapping of the territory where an
architectural object will be
placed. The purpose is to have
the students understand the
importance of the relation of the
object with the territory of its
placement. The object that is the
result of the transposition into 3D
of certain 2D drafts that feature
the space ‘in-between’ the object
and the territory, starting from the
abstractization of certain drafts at
the Village Museum.
3. Project 3:
The architectural form /
Spatial configuration
Idem
The students will be asked to
imagine a configuration in the
basic range (centralised, linear,
radial, cluster, network) by using
a set of standard objects with 1,2
and 3 dimensions (lines, planes,
volumes).
4. Project 4:
The interior space /The
exhibition-like space in the
park
Idem For the first time, the students
will be asked to imagine a space
with a simple scale and function
(an exhibition space) by using a
standard structure module. The
first stage aims the study on the
module and the others will focus
on the mapping-territory
relation/object and
hierarchization.
5. Project 5:
Unifamilial house
Idem The project uses composition
elements taken from the famous
7
topic of ‘nine squares’in order to
explore the principles of
organizing the interior space. The
first stage of the project is meant
for the composition study on a 9-
square module ‘in abstract’, thus
creating compositions at the draft
level. During the second stage,
the space will gain a function – of
a living space.
6. Project 6: Project with no
correction
Interior / Exterior
A covered space in the park
The last project is a test on a
topic that integrates the
elements studied during the
semester. The project is drafted
by the students, with no
corrections from the teacher.
Architecture is the crust that
separates the interior from the
exterior. Starting from a topic
with a simple function – a
multifunctional covered space in
a park, the students will be asked
to make up the ‘cover that closes
this space in two situations : (1)
the coherent interior-exterior
relation and (2) the indifferent
interior-exterior relation, the topic
of hierarchization and of the
structure module in a freer form,
on a topic with a simple function
– a public space with modulated
repeatable elements.
9. Course’s relevance to the epistemic community, professional associations and representative employers in
fields significant for the program
The project topics match the expectations of the specialists in this field. A great interest has been noticed during
the recent years about the manner in which the content has been compiled and structured.

Each project is evaluated by a 3-
teacher commission. Every
teacher will have an individual
evaluation, conform with the pre-
established criteria and the final
average will be a mathematical
average of all three.
The percentage of each
project is equal,
irrespective of the
number of credits
10.6 Minimum performance standard
- The requirement for passing the exam is the cumulation, no matter the grade for each project, of 50% of the
total number of credits, i.e. a minimum of 12 credits.
- The requirement for passing each project – besides the minimum average of 5 (five), the meeting of two
conditions in the Faculty regulations (attendance to at least 80% of the lab classes and a minimum of 50%
corrections). In case of failing to meet one of these 2 conditions, the project will be graded with 1 (one)

7. Course objectives (as resulting from the matrix of specific competences)
7.1 Course goals The subject of ‚Mathematics’ aims: to show how the
mathematical thinking blends in our culture; to find out how
mathematics developed, in close connection with research and artistic
creation; to build bridges between the systematic study (the
mathematical language) and the creative issues (discovering and
studying new forms and structures); the development of the logical
thinking required to the future architects in approaching various
matters; making interdisciplinary connections; to know how to
calculate the length of a curve, area of a surface or the volume of a
body.
7.2 Course objectives At the end of the course, the students will be able to define the
notions, formulate and demonstrate the results presented during the
semester. The target is that students should know how to best
implement the techniques and models having been introduced during
the courses and seminars.
