Architecture Technology-Studio: Heritage KDA337
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 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 interiors and elements framed by critical interrogation of cultural debates 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. You will apply this knowledge in the design of rooms and joinery elements within an existing building. The unit requires you to synthesise attitudes to heritage and user experience with spatial organisation, atmosphere, and detailing. You will use digital tools to document existing conditions and design propositions employing professional conventions and rendering techniques.

Learning Outcomes
- Translate objects and contexts of heritage into spatial form and tectonic expression by abstracting and elaborating information.
- Justify tactics developed to inform design for heritage in order to avoid charges of arbitrary design.
- Conceptualise relation to existing context and built fabric in order to underpin an architectural proposition.
- Employ digital design and documentation tools to communicate existing conditions and architectural propositions to a model reader.
