Aims: To enhance student career development in modern building design. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit, students should be able to: * Assess the current state-of-the-art of modern building design processes in a critical yet holistic manner. * Evaluate innovative solutions that advance the through-life performance of L-C building designs. * Parametrically optimise the technical demands of modern building design into integrated solutions. * To evaluate the relative impact and consequences of L-C strategies contiguous to the design process. * Manage complex design tensions of differing client intents towards the design "sweet-spot". * Demonstrate knowledge of core professional skills to enable students to be 'work-place ready' to make a successful transition to their professional practice placement and future employment. Skills: * Ability to undertake independent work. (T, F, A) * To refine the design process and map to personal career development. * Ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams. (T, F, A) * Ability to communicate complex industry-led themes to a multi-disciplinary audience. (T, F, A) * Transform personal perceptions of place in the current employment market. (T, F) * Enhancing employability and enterprise skills. (T, F, A) * Develop public engagement and entrepreneurship skills. (T, F) Content: * Mapping the RIBA stages of work 2013 to the design process. * Examining the importance of a detailed performance specification. * Develop cost awareness of buildings in-use, during maintenance and replacement. * Key factors for optimal low carbon operation and management of buildings. * Designing for flexible/adaptable change of use. * The carbon impact of decommissioning and re-use. * Employability and enterprise training skills. * Exploring public engagement and entrepreneurship. |
