| Overall Educational Objective | To practice skills in technology integration into an architectural design project as well as developing complex architectural programs in urban context through advanced architectural representations | |||||
| Course Description | Architectural Design 5 is a studio course where students are expected to develop complex architectural programs emerging through conceptual frameworks in an urban context. The course is conducted in coordination with Architectural Technology IV, focused on the integration of building technology components (i.e. structural - environmental system and building material technology) within a spatial organization of different functions. The articulation of component spaces is synchronized with the structural system set up, providing an environment of active experimentation and learning for the participants. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) 1. initiate complex architectural programs in urban context; 2) 2. integrate architectural technology and design; 3) 3. incorporate the appropriate technological components into an architectural design concept in preliminary and development phases; 4) 4. select and use materials for a specific situation in architectural space; 5) 5. display skills in organization of spaces within an architectural body that is responsive to its physical and social environment; 6) 6. apply advanced architectural representations into design process. |
| Program Learning Outcomes/Course Learning Outcomes | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1) An ability to conceptualize, develop, and implement creative and innovative design solutions across varying scales and complexities, integrating both theoretical and practical aspects of architectural services. | ||||||
| 2) An ability of evaluating, applying, and synthesizing technical, aesthetic, and ethical dimensions of architectural knowledge with a scientific and critical approach, ensuring feasible and sustainable outcomes. | ||||||
| 3) A competence to analyze historical, cultural, and theoretical contexts of architectural works and environments while fostering an intellectual perspective for critical engagement with global and local issues. | ||||||
| 4) A skill in effectively utilizing analog and digital tools, including freehand sketches, digital modeling, and graphical representation techniques, to clearly articulate architectural ideas and processes to a range of audiences. | ||||||
| 5) An awareness of and commitment to ethical principles and professional responsibilities by addressing societal needs, promoting environmental sustainability, respecting cultural diversity. | ||||||
| 6) An ability to conduct rigorous research, analyze and synthesize data, and apply theories, methods, and intellectual frameworks on design subjects. | ||||||
| 7) A commitment to collaborate effectively in interdisciplinary and multicultural environments, showcasing leadership and coordinating efforts among professionals involved in shaping the built environment. |
