Design Studio 4: Integrated Design - TIA1841

Assessment 1: Portfolio (including examples)

In addition to periodic interim reviews, a formative portfolio assessment review will be included, which will normally take the form of formative feedback, prior to resubmission of the work as part of the summative assessment for the module.

Artefacts.
All component parts must be passed to complete the module.

This module requires you to produce works of increasing sophistication having successfully completed Design Studio 1 and Design Studio 2 and Design Studio 3 (or equivalent) and will enable you to explore the relationship between theory and practical design activity.
You will be supported in managing your studio time and will be expected to apply technical skills and critical awareness drawn from this and adjacent modules, which will form the context for the module.
You will extend your understanding of the relationship between contemporary design theories and practice in order to facilitate a critical approach to the self-evaluation of design ideas and to provide an intellectual framework in support of your independent design development.
You will further develop your understanding of architecture and human activity with particular emphasis upon the relationship between social and cultural trends, constructional and environmental technologies and the physical context of architectural design.
In essence the module aims to integrate concepts, context of use, technical production and aesthetics. This will be developed and tested through debate and practical activity.
