| Course description | Architectural Design Studio D is a 40-credit, non-core module that runs in Semester 2. A varying number of design units, running in parallel with one another, may be offered in this module. Students will elect to take one of the units. Some of the units may have prerequisites, although each will meet the same learning outcomes. The units offered, which may involve group work, will be described through an initial presentation to students, and subsequently through briefing materials made available to them. The emphasis in this module, which gives students the opportunity to develop a major design project, is upon exploratory and creative work. It seeks to encourage projects that are investigative, poetic, theoretically informed, and that deal in a critical way with issues and questions of contemporary relevance. It looks for a sustained and rigorous process of study in all aspects of the student's work.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module, the student is expected to demonstrate: 1. The ability to develop and act on a productive conceptual framework both individually and in teams for an architectural project or proposition, based on a critical analysis of relevant issues.
2. The ability to develop an architectural spatial and material language that is carefully considered at an experiential level and that is in clear dialogue with conceptual and contextual concerns.
3. The ability to investigate, appraise and develop clear strategies for technological and environmental decision in an architectural desing project.
4. A critical understanding of the effects of, and the development of skills in using differing forms of representation (e.g. verbal, drawing, modelling, photography, film, computer and workshop techniques), to explain a design project.
