Thematic Research &amp; Brief Development - 2,000 word report to inform and develop the design brief

Report

<br />This module will engage students in the process of interpreting and thematically developing a given brief and investigating through three dimensional studies the notion of changing social and cultural activities through the modification of built form. The year as a whole is focused on the rigorous exploration of spatial design at a range of scales, relating to the modification of existing built form within the surrounding physical and social realm whilst also developing meaningful interior studies that capture the articulation of light, space, materiality, texture and human occupation. This module is linked to 6122INT where students will be encouraged to adopt a rigorous approach to structure, materiality and environmental design. This should include knowledge and practice associated with their project&#39;s ecological impact over time through integrated environmental design strategies.<br />

Design 5: Adaptive Reuse - Origination - 5121INT

Design 5: Adaptive Reuse - Origination

Critically analyse precedents relevant to the concept, function, organisation of design proposals and technical strategies.

Create a design project that creatively modifies and existing building and present the proposals using a range of media in two and three dimensions clearly identifying retained, modified and new parts of the building

Appraise client, user and environmental and culturally contextual criteria in the preparation of a brief positing a design approach

Develop a theoretical and conceptual approach to architectural design which satisfies the aesthetic aspects of an existing building, its constructional, structural and environmental strategies, and the regulatory requirements related to defined client and user requirements.

Integrate knowledge of cultural and intellectual histories, theories and technologies that influence a topic relative to the modification and transformation of existing buildings and structures.
