This unit focuses on the development of communication skills and understanding of conceptual, historical and ideological concerns which relate to 2 and 3 dimensional modes of representation. Examining the relationship between 2 dimensional…

This unit focuses on the multiple histories and narratives of architecture as a form of cultural production. The core structure for this unit will critically interrogate the formation of the discipline and institution of architecture along…

Students will produce a developed design brief based on research and analysis leading to a design response. The design will demonstrate a thorough knowledge of relevant issues in terms of architectural aesthetics, structural design principl…

This unit explores the design and performance of architectural installations. Students will learn how to explore and translate abstract ideas into installation design concepts, design installation performances, and represent ephemeral effec…

This unit explores the complexity of the construction industry, both local and global, the roles of different stakeholders, different production methods, and the distribution and management of information, including Building Information Man…

This unit provides opportunities for you to extend emerging design challenges and contexts in a vertically integrated, semester-long studio project. It increases the emphasis on design as a process of investigation, critical observation, an…

This unit provides opportunities for you to test and propose new approaches to emerging design challenges and contexts in a vertically integrated, semester-long studio project. It increases the emphasis on architectural design as a process…

This unit explores environmental systems as they relate to the performance of architectural design and construction. This includes application of environmental design principles to improve the performance and sustainability of the construct…

This unit explores the professional resolution of architectural production and building performance through stages of design documentation to offer sustainable regenerative design. This includes integration of construction, structural and e…

This unit introduces structural and environmental performance as it relates to architectural design and construction. Applied physical and digital testing will be used to understand and assess the application of building systems and materia…

This unit explores the principles and uses of computational workflows in architectural design and project delivery. Engaging with Building Information Modelling (BIM), Generative Systems, and Digital Fabrication, the unit introduces you to…

This unit focuses on co-research, collaborative writing and editing when communicating and sharing architectural ideas for a broader audience. The core structure for this unit will explore architectural publishing practices, and the history…

Students will identify a concept to explore based on their earlier study. They will formulate a conceptual project brief and investigate alternative design options. Through a series of early design studies, they will progress to the product…

Students will take their conceptual design and development work from Architectural Engineering Major Project 1 and apply this work within one or a series of defined project sites, contexts or client briefs. Through a series of developed des…

This unit expands on advanced concepts and skills relevant to the architectural design of a medium scale, complex project. The unit elaborates on architectural design as a process of investigation, critical observation, and experiment. Stud…
