Aims
The aims for this module are to develop experimental and explorative processes in architectural design thinking, production, technical studies, and representation. Students will develop their abilities in creative detailed design development and detailed resolution of their design project. They will also explore the integrated consideration of technical issues in relation to their design project, such as materials choice and detailed technical strategies, underpinned by principles of sustainability.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Have the ability to prepare and present design projects of diverse scale, complexity, and type in a variety of contexts, using a range of media, and in response to a brief.
2.
Have the ability to develop a conceptual and critical approach to architectural design that integrates and satisfies the aesthetic aspects of architectural design and the technical requirements of its construction and the needs of the user.
3.
Have knowledge of the application of appropriate theoretical concepts to studio design projects, demonstrating a reflective and critical approach.
4.
Have an understanding of the way in which designs relate their local context.
5.
Be able to explore a relevant line of inquiry relating to their design project using an appropriate evaluative methodology.
6.
Be able to communicate inquiries and outcomes through appropriate media.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The module will seek to seamlessly integrate experimental thinking and explorative processes in the resolution of a design project. Students will derive the detail design of an architectural project from their previous research, thematic and brief development, and initial design proposals. A focus on experimental thinking and designing will continue throughout this module. They will then explore and integrate the consideration of technical issues in relation to their design project, such as materials choice and detailed technical strategies (environmental, structure and construction), underpinned by principles of sustainability. Research will be conducted to explore a relevant line of inquiry relating to their project using an appropriate evaluative methodology.
Additional Information:This module develops experimental and explorative processes in architectural design thinking, production, technical studies, and representation. Students will develop their abilities in creative detailed design development and detailed resolution of their design project. They will also explore the integrated consideration of technical issues in relation to their design project.
This module comprises two assignments; the first, of equal importance to the second, is a design project that fully resolves the previous design concept (5123AR). The second, is to demonstrate the tectonic resolution of this design project.
