On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:

1. Apply creative design skills and well-considered formal responses to intermediate level architectural scenarios, particularly in relation to a contested urban context.
2. Evaluate and design mid-rise structural and construction systems and their resulting material and organisational implications, in particular in the building section and plan, demonstrated through iterative testing of design options.
3. Investigate the multiple and competing factors which influence how urban environments, building morphology, and civic social contexts are constructed and transformed.
4. Exercise a basic understanding of the relevant codes and standards, the building project cycle, and of the various methods of building procurement.
5. Evaluate and design architectural and material assemblies through the management of data utilising parametric modelling software and/or scripting.
6. Evaluate and design architectural and material assemblies through three-dimensional modelling and both physical and digital representation.

1. Investigation of Urban Spatial and Architectural design scenarios
2. Architectural Technologies
3. Analysis of context and precedent to inform design decisions
4. Organisation of architectural programs and material assemblies in medium-scale buildings
5. Graphic visualisation and literacy
6. Using construction and material to express architectural ideas
