If you enjoyed this lesson, please see the other lessons in my KS3 Architecture series (each lesson for each individual architect). In this unit, pupils will gain an understanding into what is architecture and identify the individual architectural styles and creative processes of varying architects (Le Corbusier, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry and Daniel Libeskind), applying their understanding through 2D and 3D model-making. – Please visit my shop where there are a range of creative and engaging design and engineering projects. ↠This file may be zipped.

Urban Planning and design a house with Le Corbusier

(0)
One of a series of KS3 Architecture lessons where students are introduced to some of the worlds leading architects; then design buildings following their styles and principals. Le Corbusier, De Stijl & Urban Planning - Graded Outstanding. Pupils’ love being creative with this project. Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (literacy) links, whilst requiring very little resources (only paper). Also Included is homework, with student/teacher examples. Also included is an instructional video to aid with delivery of content. LS1 Students are introduced to the De Stijl, Dutch art movement, through a starter activity and teacher presentation. Additionally, they are also introduced to the idea of urban planning (following a discussion of an image into over-population) and the architect Le Corbusier; with a particular focus on the Villa Savoye. They then apply their understanding of the movement and the architect, to design their own apartment (encompassing the rules of De Stijl). Each student’s apartment can then be put together to create a class De Stijl ‘sky-scraper’; as an applied practice of urban planning. LS2 Students complete a self assessment sheet as a mid-point self evaluation with a re-cap on prior learning from the pervious lesson. They then proceed to complete their building designs and add primary colours in-line with the rules of the De Stijl movement. – If you enjoyed this project/scheme of work.
