Bachelor of Architecture & Built Environments Architecture Studio units focus on the development and refinement of conceptual, analytical and technical skills through applied problem-based learning in a diverse range of real-world contexts. In first year, Studios focus on establishing foundational design knowledge and competencies.

Architecture Studio: Place focuses on the development of foundational knowledge and skills related to the design of objects in landscapes. Through examination of historical and contemporary precedents, you will develop understanding of architectural elements and principles of place, form and order. A series of exercises introduce you to empirical approaches to site analysis and design including understanding of topography, design for climate and experiential dimensions of place. You will also develop foundational analogue skills in imagining, representing and testing ideas in 2D and 3D through sketches, diagrams, model-making techniques and orthographic projections across relevant scales from the site to the detail. At the culmination of the unit you will apply your knowledge and skills in a design proposal for a small-scale habitable structure.
