Aims |
|
|
The first aim of this module is to introduce students to a range of graphical and modelling techniques, which include precise survey drawings, more expressive sketches and model-making skills to represent architecture and space. The second aim is for students to develop an understanding of 'place'. |
|
Learning Outcomes |
|
|
(LO1) Develop an understanding and knowledge of recognised drawing conventions. |
|
|
(LO2) Prepare architectural representations using a range of media. |
|
|
(LO3) For students to be able to capture the characteristics of a given ‘site’ as a place through models and graphical means. |
|
|
(LO4) LEARNING OUTCOMES IN RELATION TO PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Certain modules in Architecture address the General Criteria as defined by the RIBA and ARB. Fulfilling these Criteria is an important part of meeting the professional requirements relating to both RIBA accreditation and ARB Prescription. The General Criteria and other professional aspects of Architecture degrees at Liverpool University are described here: The mapping of the RIBA/ARB General Criteria to the specific modules that make up the Architecture degrees is described in this table: http://www.liv.ac.uk/media/livacuk/architecture/downloads/mapping-criteria.pdf |
