Course description |
This is dissertation-type course involving work in various digital and analogue media that will be a product of individual or group work. The project will be supervised as a dissertation would be. It will focus on a topic to be developed in discussion with the course organiser. But students are encouraged to develop topics that relate to their own motivations in practicing architectural design. Topics may be developed over the course of semester 2, with the final submission date being in September. The central academic concerns of this course are the integration of various intellectual themes, specified architectural design strategies, and appropriate digital representation techniques. |
