späťABSTRACT
When designing, architects think in conceptual - contextual links. They strive to put their design work into a specific environment and to shape the bulk concept of the house with their own idea. This mutual inseparable activity is the result of a previous architectural education. The authors of this article deal with the application of conceptual - contextual thinking in the educational process when teaching in the Faculty of Architecture and Design at Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Slovakia. This thinking is especially important at a time when mannerism rises to surpass the logical content and spatial cogitation. The consideration, which is often a critical thought process by which students form their own argumentative basis for the original architectural idea, shall form the basis for the author’s opinion. In this article, the role of the teacher in the educational process of architectural design is analysed and characterised. The authors highlight the importance of students’ authorial thinking in the process of design creation. The aim of conceptual - contextual thinking is to avoid mannerism, fashionability, and to create a sound, well-reasoned and socially respected proposal.
