| Course description | This course emulates the role of the researcher- practitioner, recognising that most architectural projects necessitate a level of technological investigation as a prerequisite to successful integrated design. The course runs throughout Semester 1 with a series of trigger lectures on contemporary architectural technology and environmental issues. Students are required to develop and research a particular technological theme. The output from this will be prepared and presented as a distributed knowledge based resource to all students on the M.Arch programme through the student portal/LEARN. The study will be selected from a range of topics provided agreed by the M.Arch tutors. Students may choose to select alternative topics subject to agreement with course organiser.
