Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
At this point there are three on-shore studios available:
a. Modernism in Adelaide, run by Dr James Curry - 28 September to 9th October
Seamless: Digital Collage and Dirty Realism in Adelaide’s Mid-Century Modernism. This studio is text based and will involve working with archival images and drawings. Two metropolitan site visits will be part of the program.
b. The Notion of Temporary, run by Industry Prof James Hayter and Industry Prof Tony Giannone - 25rd September to 2nd October, 10-11 October, 17-18 Oct.
An intensive two-week workshop that will explore the notion of a temporary installation within a physical and functioning context. Temporary structures and pavilions often rely on the intersect of many design elements coming together to signify and express relevance. They are often symbolic and the meeting place of an experience. The location and placement of built form in its context requires careful consideration and rigorous dissemination. The workshop will propose a temporary pavilion that could be erected in the Adelaide Botanic Garden, with the avenue for experimental and community interactive design outcomes. The pavilion will have a function to house a temporary sculpture exhibition. The studio will enable us to look at a small project with a high degree of detail and construction methodology collaborating with the Adelaide
c. Stratco Pop-up Venue, run by Dr David Kroll, Dr Ehsan Sharifi and Dr Carlos Bartesaghi Koc - 29th June to 17th July.
The studio brief is to design an architecturally designed “pop-up” structure that showcases STRATCO product range in various COLORBOND® steel finishes in creative & innovative ways that creates an immersive and interactive environment for 26 to 35 people to share an exclusive lunch/dinner that matches food with wine, steel building products and architecture. Students of the School of Architecture and Built Environment will engage with STRATCO in a project to design and prototype a Pop-up exhibition venue. The studio will provide an opportunity for students to learn from a full immersive experience in a live project, working with practitioners and building material suppliers and engaging in construction of the Pop-up Venue. This studio is intended to result in a fully developed detail design of the pop-up steel structure. In Week 1, students will develop and present feasible concept designs in small groups of 2-3 students as a mini ‘competition’ presented to stakeholders. In week 2, students will take selected projects forward for design development and prototyping in larger teams (up to 10). In week 3, students will work with the industry partner in a series of integrated prototyping and detail design workshops to develop the final design to be taken forward for fabrication. This design will be presented at the end of week 3 to SABE and stakeholders including members of SABE, STRATCO and BLUESCOPE STEEL.
Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
The University expects full-time students (ie. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 3 unit course are expected to devote 12 hours per week to contact activities and self-guided studies.
Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management (delete as appropriate):
For a 3 unit course:
Total workload hours: 12 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 156 Hrs
Total contact hours: 3 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 36 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 156 Hrs – 36 Hrs = 120 Hrs
These 120 hours should be used towards preparation of weekly tasks and for completion of the various assignments associated with the course, including development of various skills required to complete the same. Please organise your time wisely.Learning Activities Summary

Specific Course Requirements
These will be announced by the respective studio leaders. However, the following applies to all studios and courses:
Please respect the facilities throughout the University.
In the School of Architecture and Built Environment students are required to fabricate models, projects and other hands-on creative activities. Of course, you will make a mess in the process! No problem! Please clean up after yourself. If the materials are recyclable and you don't want to reuse them yourself, put them in the recycling bins. Don't leave paper/cardboard/offcuts on the floor or table, put them in the bin. Don't leave broken blades etc. on tables, put them in a sharps bin. Don't leave work (models, drawings etc) in a space (tutorial room, computer lab, studio) and expect to find it when you come back. The facilities are shared. The School recommends that you store your work in a locker available from ASA or in Hub Central.
The tables in the learning and teaching spaces (tutorial rooms, computer labs, studios) are NOT cutting mats. Would you use an exacto knife or a scalpel to cut model making materials directly on your dining table at home? No? Don't do it at the University. Use a cutting mat. If you don't have one, buy one. All students should have a cutting mat in their Equipment Kit. You are expected to bring this with you if you are model-making, using glue etc.
Students are permitted to bring food and drink into the learning and teaching spaces. Please respect your peers. When you have finished your bottle of water, coffee cup, bubble tea, Coke, juice, Boost, Red Bull etc. etc. put it in the bin. Don't leave your takeaway meal festering on a table cultivating mould. Put it in the bin.
The importance of hygiene and cleanliness is amplified during COVID 19. Respect your peers. Respect your facilities. Please clean up after yourself at all times. This is your responsibility. -

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.
