Precedent Studies:

Interim:

In addition to students ability to develop their own position in developing their individual project within the theme of ‘sustaining humanities’—architecture for people, place and time, one key aspect of the design project is to develop holistic and integrated aspects of technology, environment and cultural context in architectural design. Subsequent to Phase 2: Design Strategy and Sketch Design phase, students are required to develop environmental strategies and technological resolutions with the main intent to strengthen their design exploration/ideas, and complement their design through a comprehensive design report of 5000 words. This phase is carefully integrated with the Building Technology 2 module.
