Critical research and elaboration of strategic architectural design approaches responding to behavioural, technological and environmental issues. A focus on the implications of design contexts and environmental sustainability for the development of ethical and sustainable design practices and outcomes. Detailed design of medium-scale buildings, with simple programmatic requirements, to a moderate level of integration. Consideration and incorporation of construction assemblies and integrated environmental systems of medium complexity. Individual and collaborative group-based work. A series of studio-based design projects and assignments will be defined within tight thematic and technological limits, and resourced across selected aspects of the History and Theory, Technology and Communications streams to maximise possibilities of integration.
