702-204 Architectural Design and Practice 2A |
||
Coordinator: | Alex Selenitsch | |
Prerequisite/s: | 702-103 Architectural Design and Practice 1 | |
Timetable: | Semester 1 | |
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 in design that introduce techniques for analysing increasingly complex programs and their development into expressive architectural form. The subject will cover principles of architectural tectonics as the synthesis of form, structure, construction, materials, program and space; the tectonic expression of mass in architecture; volumetric manipulation of internal architectural space: the techniques for analysing increasingly complex programs and the cultural meanings and human values expressed within them, and be able to functionally arrange the constituent parts of the program in plan and section to achieve architectural form that is tectonically expressive, and constructionally, structurally, environmentally sound, and responsive to its site; development of analytical and synthesising skills (including appropriate documentation, graphic, and model-making skills), along with the ability conceptualise in three-dimensions, sufficient to undertake Architectural Design and Practice 2B. | |
Assessment: | Assessment will be based on two major projects 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). | |
