Prerequisites | |
Semester | 1, repeat Summer (view timetable) |
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 for analysing increasingly complex programs and their development into expressive architectural form, including: combining in a single design multiple tectonic expressions (including those concerned with mass, frame and infill, volumetric manipulation, transparency, and layering) along with various devices for ordering the plan; development of skills for analysing increasingly complex programs and the cultural meanings and human values expressed within them, and to be able to interpret and arrange the parts of the program in plan and section to arrive at tectonically expressive form that is functionally, structurally, environmentally sound, and responsive to its site; development of an understanding of techniques for analysing built context, and using this analysis to inform the design process; development of analytical and synthesising skills (including appropriate documentation, graphic, and model-making skills), along with the ability to conceptualise in three-dimensions, sufficient to undertake a Design 3 studio, and which are commensurate with the skills required by the architectural profession of an architectural technical assistant. |
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. |
