ARCT10120 Into Practice

Academic Year 2020/2021

This module introduces students to the principles of architectural practice in its broadest sense and its relationship to other related disciplines through lectures, group work and individual work. The notions of professional ethics and responsibility will be introduced through real life examples. The concept of reflective practice will be introduced. Architects, landscape architects, planners, and engineers will deliver the lectures to build a common base in the field of designed and built environment. The module will also offer a critical comparison with not a related discipline (i.e. Medical ethics in the academic year 2012/13) to foster an understanding of professional ethics in its broadest sense. Appraising information, team discussion and critical thinking will be central to this module.
