All students MUST have passed these first year courses, as well as Architectural Technology Research and Studies in Contemporary Architectural Theory before entering Architectural Design Studio G. A varying number of design units, running in parallel with one another, may be offered in this course. 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. |
