Module Description: |
The Aim of this module is to: • To develop the student’s ability to measure, record and appraise the proposed site. • To develop students’ ability to produce sketch design, planning drawings & construction stage detailed drawings together with supporting documentation, specifications, technical reports, case studies to an advanced level, including conceptual technical design development. • To support students to evolve an individual approach to their own work based on research, analysis, case studies and reflection. • To develop technical design processes and research skills required to create technical design proposals within the profession. Appreciate, observe, document/ record and analyse important buildings, technical architectural details and technical manufacturing processes as visited on international and local technical study visits.
