ARCT30010 Architectural Design V

Academic Year 2020/2021

In this module the exploration of public space and public building is developed, with an emphasis on integration of function, form, space, structure and materials. On completion of a series of analysis and primer projects, students will complete a design project for a public building and its associated outdoor spaces. Projects will include both group work and individual work at different stages. Students are required to develop and test their projects at a range of scales and using a wide selection of techniques at key moments in the design process. A series of interim submission requirements encourages this, but increasingly students are expected to take more possession over their own projects and to find independently the graphic or three-dimensional means to critique, test and develop their work. The trimester may include a study trip abroad to experience and record exemplary architecture in context at first hand. Students must complete all projects in this module, and attendance during design studio sessions is mandatory. Students are required to submit an individual collated and organised physical and digital portfolio of their trimester's work including all drawings, models, sketches etc., which must demonstrate the required learning outcomes. All of the learning outcomes must be adequately demonstrated to pass the module.

Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this module students should be able to:

1. Demonstrate the ability to critique and develop projects individually and in a group setting, and with appropriate reference to design precedents.
2. Carry out site surveys and context analysis and represent them in appropriate graphic and model forms.
3. Make appropriate and well-considered design interventions in a specified context through the integration of function, form space, structure, materials and landscape.
4. Demonstrate the ability to organize, interpret and refine a moderately complex accommodation schedule of large and small spaces in an appropriate organizational and spatial form.
5. Demonstrate an understanding of building construction, structure, materials and environment and an ability to integrate these into a design proposal.
6. Demonstrate an ability to use a variety of representational skills appropriate to the various stages of the design project and to present/exhibit work coherently.
