Applied Architectural Technology 2 - TIA1800

Assessment 1: Portfolio (including examples)

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

Portfolio

Assessment 1: Portfolio

Summative assessment will be based on a single piece of coursework submitted in the form of a Digital Technical Design Portfolio consisting of drawings and models demonstrating your understanding of the project requirements to include technological, constructional, procurement and cost aspect of a building scheme.

This module aims to provide you with an opportunity to develop your understanding of architectural technology and construction techniques and aims to provide an integrated approach to design with particular emphasis on the relationship between forms, structures, building fabric and environmental science. The project based nature of the module provides you with an opportunity to explore construction law, regulations and procurement options along with the related contractual arrangements.
You will appreciate the influence of different client priorities on the construction procurement process and will also observe the roles, responsibilities and contractual obligations of the stakeholders of the construction industry, and related legislative frameworks.
The module also introduces you to the relationship between cost and specifications through an examination of industry’s standard method of measurement, and how to specify materials for tender and construction purposes. The module aims to develop a methodical and analytical approach towards the production and communication of production information.
You will use your teaching in law, regulations, procurement, costing and contracts to develop a scheme that reflects on your knowledge and understanding of these key areas of construction.
