DESST 1504 - Representation I

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2015

The course introduces the traditions and origins of representation in architecture and landscape architecture, including: architectural drafting conventions, fundamental drawing principles and graphic techniques. Several different methods of graphic communication and their relationship to the design process are explored, including freehand sketching and drawing plans, sections and elevations. Rendering, one and two-point perspective, axonometric drawing, composition and graphic layout skills will also be introduced. The course uses both a laboratory and studio format that aims to develop both hand drawing and computer aided graphics skills including Photoshop and InDesign.

  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    There are no set or prescribed texts or resources for purchase in this course. However, the following book is highly recommended to have as a reference book as an architect that you can refer to for the rest of your career.
    - Ching, F., (1998) Design Drawing, WileyPress.

    Much material will be available online or will be given through lectures and tutorials. In addition students will be expected to structure and undertake their own research, that is, to locate and read material relevant to the project and particularly their chosen topic and argument.

    You will need continual access to MyUni for regular updates and course material.

    Please refer to the ‘Eckersleys’ equipment list on the course website and also available from the Architecture school reception. This list is considered the basic equipment/material requirement for most of the courses that you will undertake in the Bachelor of Architectural Design / Engineering (Architectural) and beyond. There will be some additional art materials required for this subject. For example a heavier weight paper for specific tasks. You will be informed of these in advance of requirement.

    The lecture will also facilitate discussion to course related matters.

    All students are expected to read and be familiar with all provided course information available on MyUni..

    Speaker Series:The School has lecture series where respected practitioners and academics from the field deliver a public lecture on
    contemporary architectural practice. In order to expand your knowledge of contemporary directions in design it is recommended that you attend these sessions. The sessions are scheduled for Tuesday 6pm at the HoraceLamb Lecture Theatre, and the exact detail of dates and speakers is available from the School website and the Front Office.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
