11517 Architectural Design: Global Field Studio
12cpPostgraduate
This subject aims to further architectural design skills through the integration of a specific research agenda that is tested through project-based speculations. The agenda is to research the impact of flows of international capital and culture against local conditions and micro-economies. The subject is concerned with issues of global and local culture in relation to architectural production, representation and practice. The subject typically includes a group field trip led by a staff member to an international destination, but may alternatively be carried out via remote collaboration with a university or organisation outside of Australia. Destinations and collaborations will vary from year to year and be announced the prior year.
The subject also enhances a critical understanding of architecture as both a discipline with an existing body of knowledge and a set of practices that continuously challenge and add to that body of knowledge. The subject requires the testing of ideas and modes of practising in architectural design, and the production of design proposals that accurately and persuasively convey the most relevant ideas and practices.
