This subject was previously known as Architectural Discourse and Spatial Intelligence Methods.
This subject explores the importance of visualisation in ideation, conceptual design and developed design. It consolidates previously learnt methods in site analysis and precedent studies. It focuses on investigation and application of three dimensional diagramming methods to represent complex spatial, programmatic and functional relationships. Work Integrated Learning is incorporated through exploring the use of three-dimensional methods in architectural practice.
This subject has BAS235 Architectural Contexts Methods as a mandatory prerequisite. If you have completed its co-requisite, BAS230 Architecture Contexts Studio prior to 2015, you are not required to enrol into BAS235 as BAS230 was previously counted as double subject. Please get a prerequisite waiver from Curtin to proceed with enrolment in BAS305.
*** Level 3 subjects normally assume an introductory level of prior knowledge in this area, e.g. from studying related Level 2 subjects or other relevant experience.
Ensure all Level 2 subjects have been completed before moving to Level 3. ***
