Applied Architectural Technology 1 - TFA1800

Assessment 1: Written assignment (coursework)

Formative assessment will be provided in the form of feedback upon interim design review sessions and the presentation and submission of draft versions of the portfolio.

Written Assignment

Assessment 1: Portfolio

Summative assessment will be based on a single piece of coursework submitted in the form of a Digital Conceptual Design Portfolio consisting of drawings and models demonstrating the application of appropriate technology to the design process of a small-scale structure or building.
The Digital Conceptual Design Portfolio should be submitted as PDF file via Brightspace.

Portfolio

This module focuses on the practical application of materials, components and systems to small-scale structures and buildings. It also provides you with an opportunity to apply technology to the design process along with developing understanding of the importance of architectural detailing in conjunction with appropriate construction methods.
This module aims to support the exploration and communication of ideas in a variety of forms appropriate to architectural technology as well as enabling you to develop your communication skills.
The module will facilitate the development of presentation skills in all forms from spoken presentations at tutorials to the preparation of suitable drawings and models of carefully detailed components. You will be encouraged to integrate practical, technical and theoretical skills from adjacent modules.
