Course overview

The aim of this course is to introduce and develop skills in the use of documentation and representation techniques, including analogue and software applications, appropriate to industry-standard architectural practice. The course will build on skills already developed within undergraduate teaching, extending the application to include non-standard solutions such as animation, generative, game-engine and narrative-based solutions appropriate for use within an architecture and design context. Learners will undertake a series of project-based exercises designed to integrate various analogue and digital solutions to design communication challenges.

  • Advanced Modelling
  • Enhanced Techniques
  • Further Explorations

Course learning outcomes

  • Demonstrate mastery of industry-standard documentation and visual representation software
  • Demonstrate mastery of industry-standard analogue communication and representation techniques
  • Demonstrate competence in developing appropriate communication strategies for the effective communication of design intentions
  • Analyse and understand appropriate use of analogue and digital solutions to communicate spatial, material, social, environmental and ethical issues in architectural design
