| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To provide the student with the ability to formulate strategies and solutions, which address the interaction between the functional requirements of buildings and the factors which shape their design, development and realisation. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Critically evaluate the application of techniques for predicting the functional performance of buildings during the design process. |
| 2 | Develop strategies for integrating performance evaluation techniques into the design process. |
| 3 | Critically analyse and evaluate the effectiveness of building design solutions in terms of attaining planned objectives for functional performance. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| This module is based on the identification, analysis and resolution of design issues relating to the functional performance of buildings; Case study analysis of functional performance indicators for building design; Formulation of strategies for incorporating client and user imperatives into the design process; Development of a design brief, which involves the identification and resolution of complex functional issues relating to building performance; Data gathering, analysis and formulation of design solutions; Representation and justification of design methodology and solutions in a simulated professional context. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| This is a module predominantly involving lectures, tutorial and practical work, which may include field and studio work. Directed study to performance related core texts and resource material will be encouraged. |
