Course description
This course is one of a suite of elective Architectural Research courses that provide an opportunity to develop research skills and specialist knowledge through a guided independent research project. ARCH7063 provides students with the opportunity to undertake a focused research task in a specific area of research interest, conducted through a series of advisory meetings and self-directed study. The course expects students to achieve an advanced level of academic argument and the mastery of instruments for conducting and expressing that argument. The research project will result in a body of work that communicates the process, outcomes and value of the research. The mode of communication and scope shall be agreed upon between the student and the supervisor. This may include a written dissertation, fieldwork reports, artefacts from material experiments, designs, and research reports. This course is available to students who have completed 16 units towards the Master of Architecture,including a 2unit March Research course and have a cumulative GPA of 5.5 or higher.
