Aims: To introduce a more detailed and complex building brief through study of a particular building type, (e.g. art gallery), in the context of its landscape and local settlement.
Learning Outcomes: On completion the student must demonstrate the ability to integrate spatial, environmental, constructional, and structural principles in a coherent building design proposal which meets a given brief.
Skills: Research, analysis, proposals in sketch and models, drawn and verbal presentation, related to a specific building scheme.
Content: Although of limited complexity, the building will require the planning of a number of different sized, interrelated spaces, at least one requiring a medium span structure. The building will be low-rise. The site will be non-urban but include some built context. Design of external space (square, courtyard, wider landscape) associated with the building.
