Study graduate certificate architecture & construction online with Curtin University through Open Universities Australia. Explore all degrees, subjects and short courses now.

This degree provides an introduction to the planning principles, practices and techniques used by urban and regional planners. Examples and applications draw on local, national and international examples. It can be seen as a stand-alone qualification in its own right, or as the first step towards the Master of Urban and Regional Planning, which is a full professional qualification. It can also provide mid-career training for practising planners. A distinguishing characteristic of the degree is the use of interdisciplinary knowledge and techniques in addressing environmental, social and design issues of concern to the community. It is now widely accepted that successful human settlements must be properly planned and a range of statutory and non-statutory controls exist at all levels of government to protect the public interest in the development process.
The Graduate Certificate in Development Planning offers an alternative pathway into the Master of Urban and Regional Planning for those from a non-related discipline or with only industry experience.

Examine social and economic planning theories, laws and trends and the importance of an integrated approach. Study land development processes, environmental factors and the implications for community sustainability within a governance framework.

Architecture and Interior Architecture Methods 1B - Digital Literacy

This subject was previously known as Technology of Design.This subject is an introduction to architectural technologies including structural systems and principles, building materials, construction techniques and environmental design and decarbonisation concerns in buildings. The work integrated learning is through understanding the relationship between technology and the formal language of design in architecture.Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’. It only takes two hours to complete online, and provides you with vital information about studying with Curtin University. The Academic Integrity Program is compulsory, so if it’s not completed your subject grades will be withheld.Find out more about the <a href="https://www.curtin.edu.au/students/essentials/rights/academic-integrity/aip/" target="_blank">Academic Integrity module</a>.

Architecture Methods 6

This subject was previously known as Architecture Design 2.This subject explores the sense of place and the notion of inhabitation. It explores the built environment as a representation of collective values, investigates the relationship between ideas, human body and built form, and develops an understanding of primary components of space, form, structure and materials. It refers to and uses communication methods taught concurrently in other subjects. This subject requires students to create new structures for inhabitation at a personal scale that engage well with a given landscape, including solar, wind and sound. Work Integrated Learning is incorporated through the design of projects on a real site.Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’.

Build on your understanding of the primary architectural components: space, form, structure and materials. Engage in a reflective and iterative design process to create a new living space that reflects your ideas and complements its surroundings.

Architecture and Interior Architecture Design Studio 1 - Small Structures

This subject was previously known as Interior Design Studio 2 - Elements.An introduction to the tools of the Interior Designer, demonstrating how interior space is conceived using the different elements that comprise an interior. &#39;Interior elements&#39; such as colour, light, materials, sound, space and volume and furnishings are explored separately and then in combination. A series of interactive design activities will introduce students to discipline exemplars and experimental techniques that inform the student’s creation of a small-scale design proposal. There is a fieldwork component in this subject.Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’.
