Urban Planning De Stijl and Le Corbusier

Urban Planning De Stijl and 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.

MYP Units Bundle which covers each year group for the MYP 1 - 5 Design curriculum, representing a significant saving over buying units individually. In these outstanding, creative units, students are tasked with designing and making solutions in line with specific client-led briefs. With practical, written, and theory work closely related to the new MYP Design Specification and four assessment criteria. These units/projects have been designed for a term (12-14 weeks) or half-term (6-8 weeks) though each can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly. Included is a unit planner that maps each project to units of inquiry (IB), sustainable development goals (UN), ATL skills (IB), and inner development goals (IDGs). Each project covers the entire iterative (non-linear) design process as well as relatable theory. The units are flexible and can be adapted to be taught throughout MY1 to MY5. The recommended MY year group can be found below. Units include: Graphic Design Unit - Personified Typography (various briefs) (MY1). Product Design Unit - Phone Stand Product (MY2 or 3). Architecture Unit - Introduction to Architecture. Worlds’ Leading Architects and Their Creative Processes (MY2 or 3). Product Design Unit - LEDC Solar Light. (MY4 or 5).

Together we can design more sustainable, inclusive and innovative schools. In this project, students are tasked with the global design challenge of re-designing schools so that they are more sustainable, inclusive and innovative. Using their own school as an example, students complete a portfolio, following the design process, to design, model and justify their solutions. Project covers: Introduction to the design brief. User Research Analysing other sustainable, innovative, and accessible school examples from around the world. Writing a design specification. Initial sketching. Refined sketching. CAD modelling. Final prototyping This project culminates in students re-designing their current school or designing a new school using free Google SketchUp software (free, Cloud-based, no installation needed). – If you enjoyed this project/scheme of work.
