ARCH 7040 - Studio: Architecture (M)

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2019

This studio explores the processes by which medium to large scale multi-storey urban projects are initiated, developed and documented. It will address issues related to various stakeholders, environmental systems, engineering infrastructure, structures and construction appropriate to the scale of such projects. Students are to develop critical thinking and develop responses to the challenges of a given context, producing designs which demonstrate understanding and critique of that context. The design exploration and proposition shall be communicated through graphic and verbal presentations and may include three dimensional models.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    Knowledge and Understanding
    The primary aim of this project is to be a means through which students can develop and demonstrate competence and confidence in the architectural process. The project spans from planning/urban design issues to construction issues. It uses a multi-storey city building as a vehicle for developing design skills in a holistic sense, including the design of technical systems and details. The studio will also investigate issues of the urban real estate market, the design of urban infill, and the relationship between the building form, the urban site and the city context both historically and in contemporary use.

    Skills
    Students will also develop skills in time programming and in making judgements about the appropriateness of structural systems, energy use, construction materials and techniques, and development feasibility/ economics. The stages in the process will overlap and the activities at each stage sampled rather than completed. That is the only way in which a significantly sized project can be tackled in one semester.

    On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

    1 Develop an integrated proposal for a multi-storey urban building, linking all stages from project conception to documentation

    2 Understand the range of aspirations, interests, constraints and opportunities that influence the design and development of a complex, multi-storey building project

    3 Propose a convincing architectural design for a multi-storey project using conventional and digital drafting and communication techniques

    4 Demonstrate an understanding of relevant planning regulations and requirements of the National Construction Code

    5. Produce a limited set of construction drawings for a multi-storey building demonstrating knowledge of construction materials and techniques, detailing and structure

    Required Resources
    Equipment: Students must always be prepared to make notes and sketches during any scheduled contact sessions of the course. In addition to your sketchbook, and suitable pens and pencils for drawing and writing.
    you must always come prepared to be productive in studio sessions.
    Please anticipate what you will need in the way of appropriate drawing and/or modelling materials for each successive studio session by reading the project specifications carefully in advance. Consult your studio leader(s) if you need further advice.
    Recommended Resources
    A partial list of recommended readings to provide starting points for further research will made available to students through email and MyUni. Other recommended resources, including software, online tools, and production techniques, may also be developed progressively over the course of the semester and posted to
    MyUni or circulated via email.
    Students are encouraged to take an active interest in the research activities of the department, including the programs of CAMEA and CASRU, as well as the Speaker Series talks and other occasional events.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    The course adopts project-based learning in studio supported by lectures.
    Studio learning depends on intensive and prolonged engagement in reflective and reiterative experimentation under the critical guidance of a studio tutor. Attendance and active participation in ALL studio sessions is therefore compulsory and will be recorded. Maintaining process material (sketches, notes, etc.) tracing the design process during studio sessions is important, and forms the basis for some components of assessment.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    The University expects full-聬time students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 6 unit course are expected to devote at the minimum 24 hours per week to contact activities and self-聬guided studies.

    Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management:
    Total workload hrs: 24 hours per wk x 14 wks = 336 hours
    Total contact hours: 6 hours per week x 12 weeks = 72 hours
    Total self-guided study: 336 – 72 hours = 264 hours

    These 264 hours should be used towards for working on the various assignments associated with the course, including development of requisite research, knowledge, and skills. Please organise your time wisely!

    Submission
    Submissions (General)
    • Please adhere to submission deadlines and follow instructions provided. Where unspecified or in doubt, follow the submission procedures below.
    • All submissions must include Student Name and Student ID Number. Submissions without Student Name or ID Number may not be considered for marking and may receive zero marks in accordance with the guidelines.
    • In addition, all assignments must have attached a signed and dated Assignment Cover Sheet. Please attach the cover sheet in front of the document, to the top left hand corner with a staple.
    • Students must not submit work for an assignment that has previously been submitted for this course or any other course without prior approval from the Course Coordinator.
    • On occasion, the lecturer/tutor may wish to retain students’ work for future reference and the relevant student(s) will be informed at such a time.

    Early Submission
    • Where an early submission has been made, please inform the Course Coordinator or Tutor. There is an early submission box located on Level 4 which is cleared out daily at 10am. Please mark your submission clearly before placing in box.

    Late Submission
    • In general, the school does not accept late submissions. In cases where a submission cannot be made by the due date, please refer to the policies and procedures detailed below relating to Resubmission and/or Modified Submission Arrangements due to medical or other extenuating circumstances.
    • Printing delays & hard disk crashes will not be entertained as legitimate causes for delay, so please ensure that the work is finished in advance.

    Resubmission
    • The school has a resubmission policy whereby students can redeem failed work re鈥恠ubmitting (for a maximum score of 50%).

    Good Practice
    • Students should ensure that they regularly backup their work as hard disk crashes are an unfortunate reality. When relying on community printing facilities, students should attempt to finish their work in advance to avoid congestion and unnecessary delays.
    • Students must retain a copy (scan or photocopy) of all assignments submitted (digital or hardcopy) as originals have been known to go missing.
    For modified arrangements of submission and assessment due to special circumstances see the following Assessment Task Extension(s) & Additional Assessment guidelines. These are outlined in the School of Architecture and Built Environment Student Handbook, at the link below:

  • 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.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
