Introduction
Advanced Technologies investigates emerging modes of architecture that leverage the application of digital tools within design workflows to engage material, fabrication, construction, and sustainability criteria. Working in the context of a complex medium-to-large scale buildings, a series of small schematic prototypes will be explored at the resolutions of structure, façade, and environmental performance.
You will be introduced to the contexts in which the traditional roles of architects and consultants are being challenged by technological shifts brought about by the 4th Industrial Revolution. An understanding of emerging methods of environmentally responsive design will be gained in the context of performance-based frameworks.

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
