Students will undertake one or more design projects which will focus on cultural and social aspects of the design process. Students will be required to analyse a complex program and then express this in an architectural form. This will provide students with an opportunity to learn and develop new knowledge and skills in theory, technology, history and communications, as well as to develop their existing architectural knowledge and skill. Most importantly, students must be able to integrate these things into their design proposals. For more specific information students should refer to the Studio Guide handed out at the beginning of the semester.
