Content
This unit allows students to develop creative thinking through design drawing. Learning and assessment activities in this unit will require the student to explore design media and techniques and develop a full range of skills necessary to imagine, generate, conceive, and analyse design ideas using the language of architecture, and its codes and conventions. Students will develop a critical understanding of the agency of drawing and modelling, which will enable alternate ways of conceiving, communicating and evaluating design ideas. Creative outcomes of students in this unit will be representative of their ability to reflect and critique the implications of proposed and existing architectural designs, which will complement their theoretical and historical perspectives.
