Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this module, the student should be able to:
1. Utilise digital tools to demonstrate analytic understanding of the broader context of urban and suburban environments, including infrastructural, ecological and social dynamics.
2. Develop proficiency in cartographic representation techniques to effectively communicate analysis and design concepts.
3. Development of a clear design methodology based on research of course material and precedents, design proposals developed and refined through iteration in drawing and model.
4. Evidence of investigating interaction between landscape / territory and community. Integration of this understanding in design work.
5. Display evidence of integrating community needs into design strategies using community inputs as foundational elements for development of architectural design response.
6. Develop critical reflection skills on design process, integrating feedback from workshops and site-based observations to further architectural design process.
7. Understand the broader context of urban / suburban environments, including infrastructure, ecology, heritage and social dynamics.
8. Analyse the economic, environmental, political, and social factors that inform architectural design as climate action.
9. Development of architectural design skills to address social and technical challenges.
10. Integrate research and analysis into the development of contextualy relevant design methodology.
