Bachelor of Architecture and Built Environments Architecture Technology units focus on establishing key concepts and principles related to the physical facts of architecture and human experience of these facts. At Introductory level, these units provide foundational knowledge and skills in structure, construction and material performance.

In Architecture Technology: Materials and Making you will develop skills in the design of diverse spatial environments through the creative manipulation of materials, surfaces and connections. Through hands-on experiments, research and field observations you will investigate the physical and experiential properties of materials and their broader relationships within social and cultural contexts and environmental systems. You will also examine the use of materials in historical and contemporary precedents and question the implications of new and emergent materials and fabrication techniques. Applying this knowledge to a topic of your own interest, you will undertake a series of speculative design inquiries and material explorations that test the limits and opportunities of particular materials, processes or techniques.
