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 Intermediate level, these units develop focused knowledge and skills at key intersections between materiality and human inhabitation.

Architecture Technology: Structure and Surface focuses on the development of core knowledge and skills in structures and construction. You will apply foundational knowledge of structural principles and systems to the design of building structures and surfaces emphasising the relationship to design intent and environmental sustainability, including design approaches for different climate types. Through lectures, workshops, self-directed activities and site visits you will gain understanding of structural systems for different building types and scales, the technical and environmental performance of materials, construction elements and building components and the requirements of relevant building standards. You will also be introduced to techniques and professional conventions of technical documentation and apply this knowledge in the detailed design and communication of construction detailing for building structures and surfaces.
