11208 Architectural Design: Architectural Communications 2

6cp
Undergraduate

The ability to develop and give an account of any architectural proposition relies on the thoughtful and strategic deployment of a range of representational types. This subject aims to develop the necessaray knowledge and skills required in the production of these forms of representation together with the capacity to align their usage to appropriate communicative applications. Consequently, the subject introduces students to a range of techniques aimed at developing an understanding of representation as a formally generative, illustrative, observational and analytical tool. The subject also focuses on compositional issues concerned with the assemblage of images and, where appropriate, text. Students explore the use of these representation modes, in both two- and three-dimensional forms, through a range of manual and digital tools.

This subject is a corequisite to the first-year, second semester design subject and together they are to be understood as integrated subjects. As such content and assessment tasks is aligned, though not necessarily identical to design.
