Architecture Technology–Studio: Heritage KDA337

Launceston

Introduction

Bachelor of Architecture and 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 third year, Technology–Studios are double-weighted units emphasising the synthesis and application of knowledge and skills encompassing technologies, theories and spatial design principles.

Architecture Technology–Studio: Heritage focuses on the detailed design of interiors and elements framed by interrogation of cultural debates, material facts, and architectural practices related to Heritage. In this unit you will explore notions of context, developing an appreciation for existing built fabric and the cultural meaning of places. Through expert lectures and interactive and self-directed activities you will gain knowledge of how architecture can contribute to and frame subjective experiences and constructions of history, present and future.
