| Aims: | Semester two consists entirely of individual work and is taught in a studio of architectural students only. The aim is to continue, through a series of structured projects, the exploration of fundamental themes in architecture begun in Semester 1. |
| Learning Outcomes: | At the end of this unit students should clearly demonstrate that they have further developed the skills in both architectural design and communication introduced in Semester 1. The major project of the semester - A Family House, requires students to demonstrate the structural and constructional principles of their design. For each project students must demonstrate the ability to meet the requirements of a given brief. |
| Skills: | Drawing, model-making and design skills are further developed and there is a new focus on the relationship between buildings and spaces, at a variety of scales. |

Project 2: A House * This project develops planning skills with the most complex brief set so far in the year, including construction and landscaping as an integral part of the design process. * The house is of at least two storeys and uses masonry construction. Lectures on masonry construction accompany this project. |
