| Course description |
This course requires students to curate the outcomes of academic work they haveundertaken during the MArch (Design) programme and present it in the form of an integrated academic portfolio as defined by the Architect's Registration Board at Part 2 level. Their portfolio may involve various forms of presentation (drawings, installations, printed books/reports, models, photographs, films, digital material, etc) and any other evidence of work which has been assessed as part of the programme leading to an award of Part 2. The assembly of the portfolio is often given inadequate attention by students of architecture: by thematising it, this course establishes it as a design issue in its own right. Emphasis is placed upon the eloquence of the total presentation, as well as upon the appropriateness of the use of specific representational forms and the skill demonstrated in their deployment. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
- The ability to organise and construct a large body of representational material in such a way as to lucidly and persuasively demonstrate the development and design of a complex architectural and urban project (commensurate with ARB Part 2 level).
- An increased understanding of how best to convey and inter-relate the full and diverse range of issues with which the architectural project deals and the design responses it makes to them (theoretical, cultural, ethical, technical, etc).
- The development and refinement of skills in the presentation of work conducted in diverse media.
- The ability (using the appropriate software) to integrate analytic and descriptive text with images in report or book formats and in such a way as to facilitate conventional or web publication.
- An increased appreciation of how to present work for scrutiny by peers, potential employers, the media, the public, etc. |
