| Learning Outcomes: | By the end of the Unit, you will be able to:
1. Prepare and present building design projects of diverse scale, complexity, and type in a variety of contexts, using a range of media, and in response to a brief; 2. Demonstrate knowledge of how the theories, practices and technologies of the arts influence architectural design; 3. Demonstrate knowledge of the creative application of the fine arts and their relevance and impact on architecture; 4. Evaluate and apply a comprehensive range of visual, oral and written media to test, analyse, critically appraise and explain design proposals; 5. Demonstrate knowledge of the creative application of the theories, practices and technologies of the arts to studio design projects, in terms of their conceptualization and representation. |
| Synopsis: | In this unit you'll be able to develop designs that address wider issues of urban design and landscape as well as detail considerations of material strategies and techniques as part of an integrated architectural approach.
You will be encouraged to explore and develop your own design process through a series of structured exercises run in parallel with the studio design projects. |
| Content: | Project(s) are based in urban locations, and involve the collection of visual, historical, social and cultural information relating to its development, the presentation of drawings photographs and models of the past and present character and future potential of the area and the design and presentation of proposals for Landscape, Building and Detail elements. The designs are to be presented through both drawings and models (physical and/or computer models). Designs will be developed with due regard to aesthetic and technical requirements prevailing within the urban context studied and with due regard to the perceived long-term social and physical needs of the local community. Visiting consultants will provide specialist expertise and visiting design critics will be invited at appropriate times during the project. |
