HECS Band | 2 |
Coordinator | Dr Stephen Cairns |
Semester | 2 (view timetable) |
Contact | Five hours of lectures, seminars, and tutorials per week |
Subject Description | Students will undertake a series of readings, studio-based exercises and assignments introducing them to methods of analysis, abstraction, and synthesis in design thinking that are common to the fields of building and architecture; basic composition and applied organisational techniques widely used by designers; the effects that planning and program, spatial order (and its conceptualisation), materials, technology and the environment have on design. Assignments require a synthesis with the student's concurrent studies in other subjects (particularly construction technology and communications), culminating in the architectural design of small-scaled, energy-efficient buildings with simple programs. |
Assessment | Assessment will be based on a major project and a review of a portfolio of assignments set during the semester. (Projects, studio tests, exercises and tutorial presentations, to the equivalent of 7500 words). |
