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 in the area of Architectural Technology and Practice. ARCH7073 focuses on research topics relating to design generation, communication, and documentation; and the relationship between design methods and modes of practice and building delivery. Research may be undertaken through: creative exploration of design methods; analysis and evaluation of design and documentation methods and their relationship to building delivery processes; and through analysis of emerging modes of architectural practice. Research outcomes may result in design propositions, code, models or prototypes, exhibitions, and written exegesis or reports. Students will be part of a cohort working closely with an academic or practitioner experienced in the field with research topics grounded in real world engagement with research partners from industry, government, cultural organisations and allied research groups. This course may not be available every semester. Please consult the School of Architecture for semester availability including Summer Semester and intensive coursework offerings. This course may be offered as a single topic or multiple topics depending on the availability of subject experts and academics.
