On completion of this subject students should be able to demonstrate that they:

• have an understanding of various approaches to the design of residential developments, with particular regard to technical and environmental constraints, functional and economic parameters, principles of urban design and urban planning, human values expressed in housing, and the cultural meanings of dwelling;
• have further developed techniques for analysing built context, and using this analysis to inform the design process;
• have an appreciation of architectural design theory and developed the necessary analytical skills for critically adapting design theory to design practice;
• are able to undertake the detailed design development and construction documentation of a residential development project, and compile a project report that describes and illustrates the technical aspects of the design proposal;
• have an appreciation of a broad range of theory relevant to architecture and urban design and are able to apply this theory in the analysis of design and in the development of design tactics;
• are able to demonstrate architectural tectonic and technical skills commensurate with those required to undertake Architectural Design and Practice 5.
