Architectural Technologies 3: Implement

This subject was formerly known as Architectural Tectonics This subject articulates and tests the idea of construction as a process requiring cultural and technical choices. While Architectural Technologies 2: Analyse focuses on the internal mechanics of building systems, Architectural Technologies 3: Implement moves from the analysis of specific architectural ideas to arrive at the evaluation and selection of implementation alternatives. Mixing built examples and project proposals, students will be shown how to identify, evaluate and engage with the technological underpinnings of architecture.

• 1Demonstrate the ability to interpret construction documentation as it applies to non-domestic buildings.
• 2Define core architectural technology terms and concepts and relate these to varying contexts.
• 3Use and demonstrate independent and industry-focussed research techniques.
• 4Evaluate the factors, challenges and preferences that influence a construction design response.
• 5Analyse, evaluate and communicate information via a critically constructed method.
