Architectural Studio 1 and Architectural Studio 2 aim to further architectural design skills through a diverse set of design projects that integrate specific research agendas and design propositions. These units are supported by lectures and seminars which introduce the relevant theory, knowledge and design precedents. Delivered by visiting national and international architects, design practitioners and researchers, this unit will provide students with a platform to explore the role of the architect and design within critical cultural discourse, and to engage architectural design as a way to investigate issues including, but not limited to, theoretical and philosophical problems, cultural expression and Indigenous knowledge systems, computational design, advanced manufacturing and construction, sustainable and performance-based design, the urban/architectural nexus, resilient communities and design activism. At the successful completion of this unit of study students will demonstrate the ability to formulate, interpret and communicate appropriate concepts derived from research, conceptual exploration, precedent studies, brief and contextual analysis; formulate schematic design proposals; develop design proposals in response to critique, and; produce a design which demonstrably embodies understanding of the principles associated with a specialised study area. The unit will also extend a student's capacity to communicate design propositions at a professional level.
