Following successful completion of modules ARCH401 and ARCH402, the aim of this module is to focus on architectural design at an advanced, postgraduate level. Students will carry forward their investigations by developing an urban site/ building to comprehensive level of architecture resolution


Learning Outcomes

(LO1) Formulating a complex design brief appropriate for their urban site

(LO2) Conceptual development through the understanding of a range of design methods

(LO3) Producing a coherent set of drawings, models and other modules of visualisation that adequately presents their project

(LO4) Developing architecture into "appropriate" detail, emphasising the central role of technology, and appropriate representation at every stage

(S1) Improving own learning/performance - Reflective practice

(S2) Time and project management - Personal organisation

(S3) Information skills - Critical reading

(S4) Research skills - All Information skills

(S5) Personal attributes and qualities - Initiative

(S6) Critical thinking and problem solving - Creative thinking

(S7) Critical thinking and problem solving - Problem identification


Syllabus

 

The project will concentrate on the design of a building or a complex of buildings, always in dialogue with its urban context as studied and manifested in modules ARCH401 and ARCH402. After critically reflecting on their previous studies, students will write their own brief in which they define their aims and objectives and they will decide on an appropriate level of resolution to which they will take the project forward. Studio work will be accompanied by lectures by staff and invited speakers.
