NED Workshop 2015
Workshop
at NED, Karachi from 9th – 13th February 2015
Title:
Geometry in Design
Taught
by: Taimoor K. Mumtaz
Introduction:
Although
geometry plays a prominent part in Pakistan’s heritage in the visual arts in
general and architecture in particular, but its teaching as a design tool in
the schools of art & architecture is disappointingly limited. It can and
should be a strong element in a Pakistani architect’s design repertoire. This
workshop aims to be an introduction to the study of this facet of our heritage
and its application to contemporary design.
Aim, Objectives & Teaching
Method:
The
use of geometry in design can be divided into three main components:
i)
Geometry as pattern for architectural surfaces or elements like lattice jails in various materials.
ii)
Geometry as a tool for laying-out, constructing or drawing forms and elements.
iii)
Geometry as a method for achieving harmony of proportions in forms and spaces.
This
Workshop focuses primarily on the first of these elements i.e. Geometry as
pattern for surfaces and elements. The other two elements would be introduced
through lecture presentations. The primary aim of the Workshop is to equip
students with basic geometric tools and concepts as well as the application of
these to design. This would be achieved through drawing, model-making and a
site visit to a contemporary design project.
