| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Develop and apply advanced technologies and legislative frame works to support design intentions. |
| 2 | Develop design details that demonstrate clear and consistent evolution of architectural intentions. |
| 3 | Apply and integrate advanced technologies to attain consistent architectural expression. |
| 4 | Demonstrate an appropriate integrated philosophical approach. |
| 5 | Communicate design intentions effectively by oral presentation and multi-media techniques. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Students will carry out critical comparative analysis to resolve issues relating to specification of structural, constructional and environmental performance alongside addressing social, cultural, economic and sustainability issues and ensuring that the philosophical approach and aesthetic intentions of the design are sustained. Designs must demonstrate realisation within the context of contemporary architectural and professional practice demonstrating an understanding of the issue of build-ability and cost. Students will demonstrate a capacity to resolve competing issues to provide a valid and supportable design solution. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| The module is delivered through the application of theory to design project work. This will include directed readings and presentations by visiting design and technical experts. The project work is supported throughout by tutorials and progress reviews. |
