| Description:
| Aims: To help each student develop a clear conceptual and intellectual position as part of the architectural design process. To explore and analyse a given urban and cultural context as part of the design process. To increase the degree of project complexity in preparation for 4th year. To develop collaborate working skills through a joint design project. To exploit the international ERASMUS profile of the year and the opportunities this provides to exchange diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences. Learning Outcomes: Demonstration of the ability to: * meet the requirements of a given brief; * prepare a coherent architectural design for a medium rise new building; * devise and employ a clear ordering system within a design proposal which integrates organisational, spatial, environmental and structural requirements; * develop a given brief and prepare a building proposal which addresses a specific urban realm in cultural and physical terms; * work as part of a team. The demonstration of an awareness of how the built environment is really experienced by its users. Skills: Increased ability to communicate information both verbally and graphically, using a diverse range of media and model-making techniques. Content: The Semester will include a short joint project with Engineering students in order to develop designs to a given brief. The projects during the Semester will run parallel to the AR30093 Urban Studies and AR30341 History and Theory and will be use as a vehicle for the course work assessment of this unit. The major project for the Semester will provide the students with the opportunity to undertake a study tour to a European city, which will become the setting for their individual design project. |
