Content
In this unit you will investigate architectural design as both a discipline of philosophic intention coupled with compositional, structural, constructional, and material development. This will require you to undertake a process of architectural design development, where designs will be analysed, and the design intentions developed through investigations into compositional and material methods. You will be required to develop your design to a considerable level of resolution and detail such that significant parts of the scheme are clearly understood for their philosophic, structural, and material qualities.
Learning Outcomes
ULO | These are the Unit Learning Outcomes (ULOs) for this unit. At the completion of this unit, successful students can: | Alignment to Deakin Graduate Learning Outcomes (GLOs) |
---|---|---|
ULO1 | Evaluate a project design, identify its intentions and develop the scheme with a greater level of understanding and at a finer scale. Identify potential construction systems and materials consistent with the project brief or original design. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO4: Critical thinking |
ULO2 | Demonstrate professional capacity to assess and to integrate a body of knowledge, including construction systems and materials consistent with project brief, as well as methods in Architectural design to further develop a project, or original design. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO6: Self-management |
ULO3 | Identify and explore solutions to complex issues in the design and resolution process, including investigation and integration of appropriate structural, construction, service, and transport systems as well as appropriate material selection and nomination of quality and performance standards for the selected materials, finishes, fittings components and systems. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO4: Critical thinking GLO5: Problem solving |
ULO4 | Present and discuss sophisticated ideas of architectural intention using both verbal and visual formats of communication. Demonstrate Integration of materials and components based upon an understanding of their physical properties. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO2: Communication |
ULO5 | Timely and professional completion, curation and communication of accurate and comprehensible documents that may include, as required, drawings models, specifications, schedules, and other relevant modes of information. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO3: Digital literacy GLO6: Self-management
