? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 11 ? Acronym : ACE-5-ACE-ATR

This course emulates the role of the researcher-practitioner, recognising that most architectural projects necessitate a level of technological investigation as a prerequisite to successful integrated design.

The course runs throughout Semester 1 with a series of trigger lectures on contemporary architectural technology. Students are required to develop and research a particular theme relating to the broad themes of the lectures.

The output from this will be prepared and presented as a distributed resources available through Web CT. It will act as a resource for all the students in subsquent parts of the programme.

The second piece of output will be a study of the specific technological and environmental conditions of the city location for Architectural Design Opening B. This will also be presented as a distributed resource through Web CT.
