| Course description | Architectural Design Studio A is a 40-credit, core module that runs in Semester 1. 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 will be described through an initial presentation to students, and subsequently through briefing materials made available to them. The emphasis in this module falls upon the development and refinement of the structural, material,
technical, environmental and legislative aspects of the
student=s design project. These, however, are not pursued as ends in themselves, but as part of a fully integrated design project guided by conceptual, theoretical, contextual and ethical concerns.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module, the student is expected
to demonstrate:
1. A sophisticated approach to the programmatic
organisation, arrangement, and structuring of a complex architectural assemblage in a loaded contextual situation (e.g. the built, social, historical, technological
and environmental contexts)
2. A knowledge of how to develop the structural,
constructional, material, environmental and legislative aspects of a complex building to high degree of resolution, with reference to discussions with a team
of specialised consultants.
3. An understanding of the issues relating to the question of sustainability, and its concomitant architectural, technological, environmental and urban strategies. |
Assessment Information
