The University library has a collection of relevant design journals, which are an excellent resource for design ideas, theoretical texts, detailing and presentation techniques. E.g. El Croquis, Assemblage, Architectural Design, Harvard Design Magazine, Log, Project, Quaderns, Architecture Review and Architecture Australia.

The School has a fortnightly 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 highly recommended that you attend these sessions. The exact detail of dates and speakers is available from the School website and the Front Office.

Further:















An overview of design research journals can be found here:
http://www.archizines.com.

All course materials, assignments, texts, etc. will consecutively be made available through MyUni.

The school uses the University email system to get in touch with the students. It is imperative that you check your email regularly and keep up to date with any new announcements. Course information and materials will be made available through MyUni. Please see the general Course Information as well as the individual Studio Groups.   

MyUni is an essential online tool which will be used to communicate information regarding the course including details of assignments and interim grades. There are many other learning resources and assessment pieces that rely on the MyUni system for delivery. Therefore it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the various functions of MyUni and employ it to its fullest extent. https://myuni.adelaide.edu.au

General information about the activities at the School is available online from the Student Noticeboard which can be accessed
at https://unified.adelaide.edu.au/group/professons-studentarchitecture/current-student. Students can also access a copy of the Student Handbook at the following link: announcements.

Final Project is a self-lead design studio, in which students are asked to develop an architectural proposition in response to a specific program, topic or research question. The project develops along the students own lines of interest and inquiry. Accordingly, they are given the opportunity to choose a studio leader from a pool of available staff members and their respective fields of interest. The studio leader’s role is to coach and assist the students in their design research. Deliverables and guidelines are consistent across all studio groups.

Students are required to present and discuss their work in the studio workshop environment, subjecting it to analysis, critique and response by staff and fellow students. These are 'in progress' presentations, nonetheless the work needs to be articulated and referenced in regards to the individual topics, theoretical backgrounds and practical issues pursued. 

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 12 unit course are expected to devote 48 hours per week to contact activities and self-guided study. Self-guided study should be used towards preparation of weekly pin-ups and the steady development of your project. The following figures are based on this framework and might assist in managing your workload. The workload, established by the expected final outcome (presentation & exhibition), is significant and adds up to a full time job. Everybody who considers Final Project a sideline to other (paid) work, should consider the effects of possibly failing this course. Organise your time wisely.

Total contact hours:           equivalent of 12 hrs per week x 12 weeks
Total self-guided study:     36 hrs per week x 13 weeks
Total workload hours:        48 hrs per week x 13 weeks

The studio distinguishes 4 stages within the genesis of the student’s project: Research, Concept, Development and Presentation.

Research refers to an individual field of interest, topic or problem each student aims to interrogate and test through his/her design proposal. The frame of reference for these investigations can be set within a broad range of different yet overlapping fields; architectural theory, formal exploration, society, finance, science fiction, sustainability, planning, policy, technology, etc.

Concept refers to the proposal of a specific design strategy, which emerges as a synthesis of the interrogated problem / field of interest, the specific program and the given site. It should reflect the current state of theoretical and professional debate, and amalgamate the research into a coherent proposal that exists within a defined hypothetical framework.

Development refers to the more detailed design work, testing the established concept in regards to organisation, structure, material and functional fit, as well as cultural and social criteria. These aspects need to be critically studied and reflected upon, drawing a clear and legible argument from the initial investigations towards the final design. 

Presentation refers to the preparation of high quality drawings, models, renderings; a graphic proposal with reflective commentary (booklet / exegesis) and the final exhibition boards that clearly and evocatively present the investigated problem, evolving solutions, final idea and its implementation in form of a detailed design proposal that is articulately demonstrated within the language of the discipline. 

Assessment Task	Task Type	Due Date/ Week	Weighting	Learning Outcome
General semester progress and pin-ups	Individual	Week 13	10%	1,4
Research Project - Mid Review: Graphic Proposal with reflective commentary	Individual	Week 7	40%	3,4
Design Project - Final Review: Exhibition Boards + model	Individual	Weeks 13	50%	2,5,6
Total			100%

Participation in the weekly meetings is required in order to demonstrate the projects’ progress and to take benefit from the studio leaders’ feedback. Students are asked to maintain a diary of comments and suggestions. Mid and Final Review are joint events of all studio groups with their respective studio leaders and invited guest critics. Mid Review presentations are schedule for Thursday and Friday in week 7. Final Review Presentations are schedule for Thursday and Friday in week 13. Presentation timelines and venues will be issued in a timely manner. Student participation in Mid and Final Review is compulsory. Work handed in but not presented in person is considered as “not submitted”.

Indicative marks are provided after submissions have been handed in. These marks are considered as part of the final assessment, they may be adjusted and are not necessarily aggregated. Final Assessment is based on the semesters work and the quality of the oration, presentation and design. Final results for the course will only be available through Access Adelaide and students should not contact the course coordinator or the tutors for the same. Feedback for in class submissions will only be available during the tutorial as oral critique. Students should arrange with peers to make notes for reference.


Assessment 1: General Semester Progress: weekly pin-ups, desk crits, improvement toward exhibition

Description: Students discuss their work in progress during weekly pin-ups and desk-crits with their studio leaders and fellow students. Those discussions should be accompanied by drawings, models, or any other materials that best describe the student’s investigation at that point in time. 

Criteria: Students will be credited for clear and confident articulation of their work, presentation of ideas, drawings and design strategies, self-criticism, knowledge of like projects, as well as the student’s contribution to the discussion around other students’ work. Assessment is also based on the improvements made towards Final Exhibition poster (even if the work is not selected for exhibition).

Submission: NA


Assessment 2: Mid Review: graphic design proposal with reflective commentary > screen

Description: Students show the development of their design research from initial investigations, tests and trials, to preliminary ideas and concepts towards a subsequent design proposal. The proposal is presented in form of an illustrated booklet that includes reflective commentary on each step of the process and a 3-500 word exegesis. Work on it is supposed to commence from the start of the semester and capture the weekly discussions and pin-up sessions. The continuous editing a project booklet is a formalised way to establish the aims of your investigation, develop a working hypothesis and synthesise feasible solutions. The aim is to critically evaluate each step, test and substantiate the design, in order to arrive at a coherent proposal that can be successfully communicated. Material shown may include annotated diagrams, drawings, renders, models, photographs, as well as any other material that supports the understanding of the design process.

Criteria: Students will be credited for a comprehensibly laid out booklet that gives evidence of their design thinking and reflection, demonstrated in the areas: FIELD & FOCUS - Capacity to reasonably develop a question or topic for design inquiry within a larger field of architectural, cultural and social issues. RESOLUTION – Rigour and depth within the investigation and design process; coherence and persuasiveness in addressing the investigated question or topic. COMMUNICATION - Articulate representation of architectural investigations, propositions and supporting arguments within the language of the discipline. INNOVATION – Courageous investigations, showing originality and inventiveness in both approach and subsequent design proposal.

Submission: The booklet is presented via projection in a public forum. Students will be required to speak to their display and answer questions from the assessment panel. A pdf version of the booklet has to be uploaded to MyUni prior to the presentation. This file needs to be named: familyname_firstname_MID. Differently labelled files may not be assessed.


Assessment 3: Final Review: presentation / exhibition posters  >  print

Description: The resolved design proposal is presented through 3 A0 posters and a model. The content shall be similar to the Mid Review, however, be more focused on the final design implementation and developed to higher detail. The presentation should be supported by annotated diagrams, detailed drawings, photographs, renders, models, an overall project description as well as analytical commentary on individual design steps, and any other material that supports the design or as negotiated with the studio leader. It should include a graphical summary of the design process, a 3-500 word exegesis describing the design, show technical details that are pertinent to the scheme, and demonstrate structural considerations through physical model, axonometric drawing or section. The final review posters are considered as the preliminary version of the exhibition posters. They are the key component for the selection into the final exhibition.

Criteria: Students will be credited for a coherent presentation that draws a clear and legible argument from the initial investigations towards the conceptual idea and the final detailed design. The work will be assessed in regards to: COHERENCE - Convincing inquiry / narrative / argument that sits within a larger field of architectural, cultural and social issues. RESOLUTION - Rigor, criticality and elegance in developing a design solution that responds to the investigated question or topic. COMMUNICATION – Detailed and articulate re-presentation of the design investigation / proposal within the language of the discipline. INNOVATION - Courageousness and originality of the investigation, approach and the subsequent design proposal.

Submission: Students are required to speak to their display and answer questions from the assessment panel. The prints have to be on the wall 1/2h before the overall presentation session starts. A pdf version of the prints needs to be uploaded to MyUni prior to the presentation. Models are brought on the day pf presentation. This file needs to be named: familyname_firstname_FIN.

Submissions (General)      
• All submissions must include Student Name and Student ID Number. Submissions without Student Name or ID Number will not be considered for marking, and will receive zero marks in accordance with the guidelines.
• In addition, all assignments need to have an Assignment Cover Sheet which must be signed and dated by the student before submission. Please attach the cover sheet in front of the document, to the top left hand corner.
• Please adhere to submission deadlines and follow instructions provided.
• 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 will be informed at such a time.

Early Submission
• 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.• Models for in-class presentation cannot be handed in early.

Late Submission
• The school will NOT accept late submissions and any such assignment will receive zero marks. This also applies to electronic submissions.
• Printing delays & hard disk crashes will not be entertained as legitimate causes for delay, so please ensure that the work is finished in advance.

Re-submission
• The school has a resubmission policy whereby students can redeem failed work by submitting additional work for a maximum of 50%. However, this does not apply to a Class Test or Final Essay as they are pieces of summative assessment and exempt from this rule.• The deadline for all re-submissions is 12pm on Friday 6th November 2015.

Good practice    
• Students should ensure that they regularly backup their work on multiple locations 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 unnecessary delays.
• Students must retain a copy of all assignments submitted (digital or hardcopy), as originals may be lost during the submission process.

For modified arrangements of submission and assessment due to special circumstances see the following Additional Assessment guidelines.

Modified Arrangements (General)    
To apply for a Modified Arrangement a student must complete the relevant form and submit it to the relevant Faculty within the required timeframe: To apply for an Assessment Extension a student must submit an Application for Replacement Examination or Assessment Extension form prior to the Assessment Deadline. The Course Coordinator may reduce the level of supporting documentation required by the form if the assessment task comprises 20% or less of the total course assessment scheme, provided it is to the advantage of the student, variations are applied consistently and the nature and conditions of the Assessment Extension are documented.

Medical Reasons:    
The student believes that their capacity to demonstrate their true level of competence in the exam(s) or assessment(s) listed in Section 1 has been or will be significantly impaired due to a temporary medical issue and is seeking a replacement examination/assessment extension on medical grounds. The University does not consider the following to be a significant impairment:

1. Minor ailments including but not limited to colds, minor respiratory infections, minor gastric upsets, menstrual irregularities, headaches and stress or anxiety normally associated with study.
2. Ongoing medical conditions that are currently being managed unless there has been an exacerbation of that condition. Please note that a medical certificate on its own will not be accepted. If you have any questions please contact Student Policy and Appeals on (08) 8313 7503
