Note

Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.

TNE Program units special approval requirements.

* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).

Learning Outcomes

ILO 1: Identify design priorities informed by critical interpretation of context including regulatory frameworks, physical fabric and urban morphology.
ILO 2: Employ parametric design approaches to generate, test and evaluate opportunities for form and massing.
ILO 3: Resolve detailed design solutions for building skins and thresholds emphasising tectonics and contextual relations.
ILO 4: Communicate form, massing and material propositions through abstract and material representation.

Contribution to Graduate Outcomes (Degree major)
Numeracy: Students are introduced to parametric (algorithmic) and automated approaches to generating form using computation and digital fabrication; assessed via a detailed 2D/3D design (AT3)
