There are no set or prescribed texts or resources for purchase in this course. 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.

More detail of specific references will be provided during the semester.

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 Horace Lamb Lecture Theatre, and the exact detail of dates and speakers is available from the School website and the Front Office.

Lecture recordings, image pdfs, hand-outs, links for further reference and additional material considered of interest will be posted on the MyUni website following the relevant class.

University Email:
The school uses the University email system to get in touch with the students. So it is imperative that you check your email regularly and keep up to date with any new announcements.

Use Discussion board on MyUni affectively to communicate with fellow classmates as well as tutors and lecturers.

Lectures
Students are required to attend lectures as these will provide the initial basis for further discussion and critique toward development of assessable outputs. Lectures may not be recorded. PDFs of slides may be provided but these may not contain critical verbal explanations of visual material. A range of lectures will background the diverse range of understandings and practice of ‘representation’. This is also a place of opportunity to communicate and recieve feedback from Course coordinator.


Workshop Tutorial
time will be devoted to presentations of assessable assignment material and some exercises supporting delivery of the assignments. They are also the primary means to receiveindividual feedback via work-in-progress reviews. At this level of learning, peer review and commentary is encouraged as a valuable learning tool, both in offering comment on fellow-students’ work and in receiving and responding to comment on your own work. It is considered desirable to change and evolve your
position throughout the course. Tutorials involve discussion and revision of points of view.

This is a 3 unit course. Students in this course are expected to attend 3 hours of lecture/tutorial each week and allow for 9 hours of self-directed learning each week. That is a total of 12 hours a week for 12 weeks. The tutorials and other activities, including reviews of work in progress are an important component of learning in this course. The communication skills developed by regularly and actively participating in activities and discussions are considered extremely important by the School and are highly regarded by employers and professional bodies.

Assessment criteria for exercises are detailed in the individual Assignment hand-out sheets and are generally introduced and explained in lectures and will be available on MyUni.

PROJECT:
The goal of the assignment is to produce a comprehensive narrative of an object using various tools to represent important aspects of the story.  The students are encouraged to explore the
possibilities of computer tools as well as hand sketching and building.  Be experimental in how it can be used.  Be critical about what to choose to identify or represent in what manner.  Look at how other architects and designers represent their ideas.  The assignment will be completed in 4 parts with the following goals and deadlines.

Assignment 1 –Creation
Due: 08 Aug/15 Aug  10am
1A: Create an object using Rhino, create your digital creation physically with your hands.
The object you create needs to meet the following criteria:
- fits within 15cm cube
- has min 3, max 8, 90degree folds
- needs to be entirely white or entirely grey
- building material should have min1mm, max5mm  thickness
- no unfinished material edge should bevisible
One should carefully construct the object with pristine knife work, sensitive glue usage and attention to edges.  While building one should think about what the object possibly can be and be aware of the direction this initial object could lead you for the remainder of the
semester.
-  Due: 08 Aug  10am
-  Hand in physical object
-  Submit Photograph of the object on MyUni in JPG format
1B: Photograph the physical object, create a scene by sketching over the photograph, edit/combine
in photoshop to begin setting the scene for the object.
-  Due: 15 Aug  10am
-  Hand in A3 print out with title block
-  Submit PDF on MyUni


Assignment 2 – Drawing
Due : 5 Sept 10am
Experiment in Rhino, modify, improve, build up on your original object.  Then create series of drawings that begins to explain your object in drawings, including plans, sections, elevations,
axonometric, context plan, diagrams, etc. Begin developing a narrative to
explain the object.  One should think about scale, site, program and materiality to be incorporated into the narrative.  You will be marked on the creative use and careful control of illustrator tools in pursuit of telling the story. Drawings must be in appropriate scale.
- Hand in A3 sheets printed with title block
- digital submission through MyUni
 

Assignment 3 –Digital Manifestation
Due: 10 Oct @ end of class (3A.3B) / 17 Oct(3C)
3A: You will create image by producing digital render of your object. Your object should be evolving through the course. Experiment with rhino tools.  Produce a digital render and do post-production in photoshop combination with techniques learned through previous physicalphoto exercise.
– Due 10 Oct end of class
– 3 images @ 2350 x 1650 pixels, differentperspectives.
– Digital submission through MyUni.
3B: Make series of line drawings representing the geometry of the digital creation.  Take critical geometric lines using rhino tools such as make 2D, section, and contour. Geometric lines should be cleaned up in Rhino to appropriate layers, colours, line weights.  Then lines should
be exported into Illustrator.  In Illustrator, give life to the drawing by animating, annotating, giving colour, line weight control and adding necessary illustration to give life to theobject in better communicating the story.
– Due 10 Oct end of class
– plans, sections, elevations at appropriatescale.
– Create A2 presentation sheet(s) including 3A and 3B
– Hand in A2 sheets in class
– Digital submission through MyUni.
3C: Laser cut or 3D
printed physical model of whole or part of digital object.  Be critical about what you choose to
produce.  It should tie into thenarrative you want to tell.

 
Assignment 4 – Composing the Story
Due Date: 06 Nov
Comprehensive representation of the journey the object has taken throughout the course.  The booklet should tell a continuous narrative of the box from the beginning to the end, and should include photographs, images, and annotated line drawings.  This is not a collection of previous assignments. You should be improving your skills throughout the semester and thisbooklet should demonstrate the advancement of your knowledge and skills.   You will be marked on how well you tell the story by taking risks and exploring the possibilities of tools discussed inclass through the course.
- 1 booklet
- A4, 10-20 papers including title page,bound.
- PDF submission of the booklet.
– digital submission through MyUni

Submission requirements are detailed in the assignment hand-out sheets, and will be available on MyUni. University and School policies apply. Students will receive regular feedback on work in tutorials and may make appointments at other times to discuss any concerns regarding submission requirements.


The submission dates and locations for the assignments associated with this course are listed above and will be detailed in the hand-out sheets and on MyUni.
