Outline
Module Goal
- To select and analyse appropriate examples of technical and technological innovations in the built environment which might inform the development of an architectural idea.
Module Content
- Technologies which influence structural stability, environmental control and constructional techniques and materials;
- The influence of each on the perceived architectural environment, and;
- The impact of technological choices on the economics and environmental impact of a design proposal.
Additional Teaching Mode Information
- 12 x 3 hr(s) lectures
- 89 (hrs) online asynchronous (any time learning) activities
Practicalities
Continuous Assessment - 100 marks
- Students participate in seminars and produce seminar paper and technical dossier (100 marks)
