Course overview
This course will consolidate students' competence in integrating design skills and knowledge of the processes, strategies, and practices, applied to medium-scale architectural project(s) of increasing complexity. Students will apply an understanding of professional roles and responsibilities to clients, society, and the environment and an integrated knowledge of design, communication, building technology, sustainable design strategies, and architectural history and theory. Through individual and collaborative processes and teamwork, students will build upon their ability to adopt strategies and techniques applied to the design and schematic resolution of architectural project(s) and environment(s) of increasing complexity.
Course learning outcomes
- Apply research and professional skills and knowledge in the conceptual and schematic design of buildings and environments of increasing complexity
- Apply advanced manual and digital graphic techniques and modelling to describe three-dimensional form and spatial relationships
- Apply ideological, cultural, contextual, spatio-temporal, and pragmatic issues in conceptual and schematic design of at a variety of scales and increasing complexity
- Integrate theoretical, tectonic, structural, constructional, and servicing issues through the schematic resolution of architectural design project(s) at a variety of scales and increasing complexity
