Design Studio 1: Basic Principles of Design - TFA1840

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.

Portfolio

Assessment 1: Portfolio

The production of a body of work, in the form of physical drawings and models, that demonstrates the manipulation and expression of architectural space and form at an elementary level.

The module introduces basic principles of architectural composition.  The module has particular focus on the relationship between people and space(s).  It provides you with a vehicle to explore the process of design and to develop an understanding of its nature, components and effects.
The module is delivered across the first 12 teaching weeks of the First Year of study and is intended to introduce you to design as an integrative process through the realisation of architectural spaces and forms that satisfy specific and predetermined user requirements.
You will develop a body of work in response to projects. This is defined and structured by Module Tutors to promote an exploration of the fundamental elements of architectural components and assemblies.
You will be encouraged to apply practical, technical and theoretical skills from adjacent modules.
The module will facilitate the development of presentation skills in all forms from spoken presentation at reviews and tutorials to the various and many modes of visual presentation, conceptualisation, prototyping and production.
