Content

This unit is a study of architectural development and detailing and its critical relationship with design implementation and progression to contractual enforcement in the management of a building project through process and product.  Appropriate decision-making and transfer of information forms the framework for producing effective working documents through a process of information content development, and communication. Research and speculation to refine project-specific construction knowledge is progressively evidenced in documentation from a basis of sound technical building practice. Students also engage with self-development of representation skills through assignment activity.
