Architecture Technology-Studio: Heritage KDA337
Launceston
Introduction
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 third year, Technology–Studios are double-weighted capstone units emphasising the creative synthesis and critical application of knowledge and skills encompassing technologies, theories and spatial design principles.
Architecture Technology–Studio: Heritage focuses on the detailed design of interior spaces and elements framed by critical interrogation of key debates, positions and practices in cultural heritage conservation. You will explore notions of context in the broadest cultural sense, developing an appreciation for both built fabric and the cultural meaning of places. Through expert lectures, interactive and self-directed activities you will gain knowledge of principles of indoor environment quality and user experience of space. You will apply this knowledge in the design of interior spaces and joinery elements within an existing building synthesising attitudes to heritage conservation and user experience with consideration of spatial organisation, atmosphere, interior detailing and conformance with relevant regulatory requirements. Applying knowledge of object-based modelling you will communicate and document context and design propositions employing professional conventions and rendering techniques.
