About Census Dates

DESCRIPTION

This unit involves design problems of an urban scale. Typically studio projects address urban renewal or master planning strategies before focusing on resolution of architectural designs at a preliminary design stage. Students are encouraged to engage with the particular social and cultural priorities of the context, particularly as they relate to the use of space. The projects also typically involve a large component of multiple occupancy housing. At a strategic level, students are expected to develop critical conceptual propositions that engage with issues of program, site and theory, encompassing broad environmental and social considerations, preparing students for the complexity expected of final year design projects.

WEIGHT:  25%

ASSESSMENT:

Four assignments, three of which build towards a central design project and one of which is based on continual assessment. Group work may be required in one or two assignments.
Part continual assessment and part central design project assessed at the end of semester.

TEACHING PATTERN:

One hour lecture per week (13 weeks).
Six hours of tutorials and workshop/studio components per week (13 weeks).
