| Course description | This core module, taken in the second semester of the MArch2 year, requires the student to produce a comprehensive design report that documents in detail one of the projects that the student has completed during the programme. The design report sets out the research and design development undertaken, incorporating images including the key representations of the project itself. The design report should allow the reader to follow the student=s study process, allowing an understanding of the material examined, decisions taken, etc. While the report is an academic document that must be fully referenced and observe all relevant protocols as set out in the briefing materials that will be issued to students, at the same time it is also itself a designed object. It is to be presented bound in hard copy, but may incorporate digital material on a disc (DVD, CD) inserted in the document. No word length is specified, the balance between text and image being a matter for the student.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module, the student is expected to demonstrate:
1. The ability to communicate, critically appraise and argue the rationale of a design proposal using text and image in the context of a printed report.
2. The ability to produce documentation and reports that are clear, analytical and logical, covering a range of architectural issues of culture, technology, history, professional practice, value, theory and design.
3. Demonstration of integration of knowledge in architectural design, materials, processes and techniques of building, the design and development of cities, histories and theories of architecture and the related arts, management, practice and regulatory frameworks, within the report.
4. The development of transferable design skills and techniques through the preparation of a sophisticated
graphic document.
