This subject used to be known as the following two subjects: Integrated Buildings Research Studio and Integrated Buildings Research Methods.
This subject focusses on the process of design, developed through industry based projects and requirements. Students will design a small-scale architectural project to a high level of resolution, while addressing statutory planning, building and client requirements. Project will be developed, documented and detailed using architectural communication conventions while maintaining architectural intent. The project may employ digital design and fabrication techniques as a part of the design process. The project will respond to a decarbonised agenda. Best practice exemplars and cases studies will be referred to as a foundation for design. There will be a fieldwork component, the nature of which is dependent upon the focus of research. Work Integrated Learning will be incorporated throughout the Unit by using a mode of teaching where activities will take place in workshop situations/on sites/simulation of the real-world project/interaction with community and industry.
