The following books are prescribed texts or resources for purchase in this course.
- Ching, F., (2019) Design Drawing, Version Three WileyPress.
- Delancy, M.,Gorman, A. (2015) Studio Craft & Technique for Architects, Laurence King Publishing.

Much material will be available online or will be given through lectures and tutorials. In addition students will be expected to structure and undertake their own research, that is, to locate and read material relevant to the project and particularly their chosen topic and argument.

You will need continual access to MyUni for regular updates and course material.

Please refer to the ‘Eckersleys’ equipment list on the course website and also available from the Architecture school reception. This list is considered the basic equipment/material requirement for most of the courses that you will undertake in the Bachelor of Architectural Design / Engineering (Architectural) and beyond. There will be some additional art materials required for this subject. For example a heavier weight paper for specific tasks. You will be informed of these in advance of requirement.

The lecture will also facilitate discussion to course related matters.

All students are expected to read and be familiar with all provided course information available on MyUni..

Speaker Series:The School has lecture series where respected practitioners and academics from the field deliver a public lecture on
contemporary architectural practice. In order to expand your knowledge of contemporary directions in design it is recommended that you attend these sessions. The sessions are held in the HoraceLamb Lecture Theatre, and the detail of dates and speakers is available from the School website and the Front Office.

Lecture recordings, image pdfs, hand-outs, links for further reference and additional material considered of interest will be posted on the MyUni website following the relevant class.

University Email:The school uses the University email system to get in touch with the students. So it is imperative that you check your email regularly and keep up to date with any new announcements.

Use Discussion board on MyUni affectively to communicate with fellow classmates as well as tutors and lecturers.

Lectures (online/recorded)
Students are required to watch lectures as these will provide the initial basis for further discussion and critique toward development of assessable outputs. Lectures are recorded and available via Echo360 in MyUni. A range of lectures will background the diverse range of understandings and practice of ‘representation’. This is also a place of opportunity to communicate and recieve feedback from Course coordinator.

Tutorial (Barr Smith South 534 Studio)
Time will be devoted to presentations of assessable assignment material and some exercises supporting delivery of the assignments. They are also the primary means to receiveindividual feedback via work-in-progress reviews. At this level of learning, peer review and commentary is encouraged as a valuable learning tool, both in offering comment on fellow-students’ work and in receiving and responding to comment on your own work. It is considered desirable to change and evolve yourposition throughout the course. Tutorials involve discussion and revision of points of view.


Workshop (Barr Smith South, 539, Arch Computer Suite)
Similar to tutorial, but will be held in computer lab where skills on computer will be demonstrated as well as getting direct feedback on given tasks on computer. No Lectures are scheduled for weeks with Workshops.

This is a 3 unit course. Students in this course are expected to attend 3 hours of lecture/tutorial each week and allow for 9 hours of
self-directed learning each week. That is a total of 12 hours a week for 12 weeks. The tutorials and other activities, including reviews of work in progress are an important component of learning in this course. The communication skills developed by regularly and actively participating in activities and discussions are considered extremely important by the School and are highly regarded by employers and professional bodies.

1- From 2D to 3D (40%)
Assignment 1 is a series of small physical models focusing on developing different model-making skills. We begin the semester by introducing ourselves through model-making.

— ASSIGNMENT 1A: WHO ARE YOU
1A: Visualise either your name, or a dream you have had, as a 3-dimensional creation.
Name-option: Represent who you are as a 3-dimensional abstraction. Think about the qualities and characteristics which represent you; what type of person you are, who you aspire to be, where you come from, what you like etc...
Dream-option: Pay attention to what you dream from the first day of class. Choose an unusual incident such as scene, object, character, or feeling/emotion etc. and represent it as a 3-dimensional object.
You are free to explore any material to use for your creation; be creative, exploratory and technically precise. Think how each material can be used, and how each material can be joined. It should be minimum A5 and maximum A3 in size.
Due Sunday March 20 23:59 (for Monday W4) in tutorial & online

— ASSIGNMENT 1B: WHO ARE THEY
1B: Create an abstract 'surface' model from foam core using recessed/rebate joints or chamfer joints. The surface should represent 'folds' or 'pleats' and use straight edges.
To begin, introduce ourselves to a classmate. In pairs, draw each other. Have a conversation whilst you draw. Exchange and analyse your drawings. Extract interesting shapes, lines, and points. Use these shapes, lines and points to create a surface of straight edges.
The surface must use foam-core material with minimum 2 mm in thickness. Do not use chipboard, matt-board, or cardboard. The model should have no 90 degree sides and use recessed/rebate joints or chamfer joints. The model should be able to 'stand' upright. Upload your process/progress as part of your submission (it is expected you make multiple iterations of the model).
The volume should be no larger than a small chicken! (Minimum size 10x10x10cm, Maximum 20x20x20cm.)
Due Sunday April 3, 23:59 (for W6) in tutorial & online

— ASSIGNMENT 1C: BOX IT UP
Create a box that fits your volume (1B) inside it. The box should
fit the volume precisely. The box is to be created with cardboard material. The box must use two layers of cardboard and have 6 sides, 90 degree angles, with 3 sides fixed and the remaining 3 to be removable. The box should have a 1cm x 1cm grid inside it. It must be crafted with precision and clean craftsmanship as per the tutorial handout.
Due Sunday April 3, 23:59 (for W6) in tutorial & online
