Course descriptionArchitectural Design Studio D is a 40-credit, non-core course that runs in Semester 2. The course offered, which may involve group work, will be described through an initial presentation to students, and subsequently through briefing materials made available to them. The emphasis in this course, which gives students the opportunity to develop a major design project, is upon exploratory and creative work. It seeks to encourage projects that are investigative, poetic, theoretically informed, and that deal in a critical way with issues and questions of contemporary relevance. It looks for a sustained and rigorous process of study in all aspects of the student's work.

1. The ability to develop and act upon a productive conceptual framework both individually and in teams for an architectural project or proposition, based on a critical analysis of relevant issues.
2. The ability to develop an architectural spatial and material language that is carefully considered at an experiential level and that is in clear dialogue with conceptual and contextual concerns.
3. The ability to investigate, appraise and develop clear strategies for technological and environmental decisions in an architectural design project.
4. A critical understanding of the effects of, and the development of skills in using, differing forms of representation (e.g. verbal, drawing, modelling, photography, film, computer and workshop techniques), to explain a design project.
Assessment Information
