1, repeat Summer (view timetable)

Contact

Five 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 (such as mass, column/wall, Frame and Infill) as the synthesis of form, structure, construction, materials, program and space. Projects will also deal with the volumetric manipulation of internal architectural space; techniques for analysing complex programs and the cultural meanings and human values expressed within them, functional planning and the synthesis of plan and section to achieve architectural form that is tectonically expressive, constructionally, structurally, and environmentally sound, and responsive to its site. Along with the ability to conceptualise in three dimensions, students will develop appropriate documentation, graphic, and model-making skills, 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).
