Martin Fowler

Corequisite/s:

702-101 Introduction to Design

Timetable:

Semester 2

Contact:

Up to 5 hours of lectures, seminars, and tutorials per week; and additional studio work

Subject Description:

Students will undertake a series of studio-based exercises that introduces design analysis, abstraction, and synthesis in architectural practice; the architectural principles of planning and program; spatial order (and its conceptualisation); composition and expression of form; and design documentation. An introduction to the techniques of site analysis and of the application of this information in the design process. These principles are to be synthesised with the student's concurrent studies in other subjects (particularly, Building Technology, Communications, and History), culminating in the architectural design of small-scaled, energy-efficient buildings with simple programs.

Assessment will be based on a major project and a review of a portfolio of all assignments set during the semester. (Projects, studio tests, exercises, and tutorial presentations to the equivalent of 7500 words.)
