Teaching and Experimenting with Architectural Design

364 EAAE no 35 Teaching and Experimenting with Architectural Design: Advances in Technology and Changes in Pedagogy

divided in three groups, one for each case study and they had to document through

the language constructed, the content of each space and the activities taking place.

Documenting the content of the spaces through the public / private relationships

encouraged them to develop their own means of representation that begun to refer

to heterogeneous environments. For example one student attempted to differentiate

the personal objects of Mr Kyriakos in the pastry shop, case study No 1, which coexist

with the more public objects of the pastry shop, (His fish tank and puzzles on the

wall together with the clients’ tables and chairs -image 06). What was impressive

in this phase was the fact that the tutors needed much more time to “enter” into

these drawings than any other homogeneous representations. The issue of privacy

was transferred in the drawings themselves.
