| Course description | This course requires students to curate the academic work produced during their MA (Hons)degree and present it in the form of an integrated academic portfolio as defined by the Architects' Registration Board. The work to curate and present the portfolio is independant of the work from the courses themselves. This portfolio is defined as: 'a comprehensive chronological record of a student's design project work together with all course work, including reports, dissertations, sketch books and any other evidence of work, (with project briefs and examination papers), that have been assessed as part of the course leading to an award of Part 1'. This course emphasizes the design and conceptualization skills required for the integration and presentation of diverse kinds of knowledge and media (drawings, installations, printed books/reports, models, photographs, films, digital material, etc). |
