Unit descriptionThis unit comprises an introduction to the history of architectural design through a lecture-based survey course and a series of studentprojects that investigate significant design projects to provide a basic understanding of the methodological and historical developmentof architectural design. Through a series of drawn investigations and analysis of selected architectural design projects, students areintroduced to the significance of architectural drawing as unique, disciplinary-specific representation systems, through which architectsboth investigate the application of design concepts and document their design problems and processes. Supplemented bydiagramming and writing, the unit introduces students, within a broad historical framework, to the specific composition and materialityof key examples of architectural production.
Learning outcomesStudents are able to (1) have basic knowledge of the built, social and historical context of significant architectural architecture projectsand become familiarised with the history of architectural drawing and representational systems; (2) acquire basic drawing skillsincluding the conventions of architectural drawing as well as analytic diagramming; (3) be conversant with bibliographical researchtechniques, and thus be able to use a range of visual and literacy sources to develop visual and textual analysis of architecture; and (4)develop basic communication skills in interpersonal relationships, oral discussion and critical analysis of works of architecture.

Teaching and learning responsibilitiesTeaching and learning strategiesTeam Analysis Exercise The first assessment item introduces students to the research techniques, group work and the orthographic set of drawings - plan,section, and elevation. These skills will be utilized by the individual student in the subsequent projects. Comparative Analysis Exercise Using the orthographic drawings completed for Assignment 1 students will build on this set to compare their assigned building withanother. Instead of the orthographic set students will drawing ‘synthetic’ drawings. These drawings that are ‘hybrids’ of orthographicdrawings and other types – projections and perspectives – that will be used to reveal the spatial, formal, material and structural qualitiesof the buildings under comparison. Tutorial ExercisesEach week from week 3, students are obliged to bring a finished take-home exercise to the tutorial. Exercises will not be accepted viae-mail, only in person, and only on the day they are due. Exercises will be marked +, +-, or -. The total number of points for all exercisesis 20%. A student can have a maximum of two exercises marked - before receiving a mark of 0% for this component. Each exercisemarked - before this threshold carries a penalty of 2.5%, and each exercise marked +- a penalty of 1%, to be deducted from the total of20%.
AssessmentAssessment overviewTypically this unit is assessed in the following way(s): (1) folios; (2) tutorial exercises; and (3) an examination. Further information isavailable in the unit outline.

Assessment items
Item Title Description Submission Procedure for AssignmentsTeamAnalysis
Teams of four/five students undertake a drawn andwritten analysis of a specific architectural design. Withinthe group, individual students will be responsible for oneaspect of the analysis and drawing. Each group willsubmit a digital folio of drawings. This assessmentdirectly tests the student’s communication skills andtheir ability to undertake historical analysis and researchand basic drawing skills. This assessment emphasisesinterpersonal relations and oral discussion.
Team Analysis submission due before 4pm Friday 20th March, before to LMS ARCT1010 Drawing History Dropbox
ComparativeAnalysis
The assessment has specific criteria designed to testthe student’s ability to undertake basic written and drawnanalysis of the formal, spatial, historical and theoreticalcharacteristics of two pieces of architectural design.This work (which culminates in a digital folio) builds andexpands on the Team Analysis so that individualstudents will have undertaken all aspects of analysis,investigation and drawing by the unit's conculsion.
Comparative Drawings due before 4pm Friday, 15th Mayto LMS ARCT1010 Drawing History Dropbox
WeeklyTutorialExercises
Each week, from week 3, a written or drawn exercise(not more than an A3 sheet and/or a number ofparagraphs long) is to be completed by the student. Theexercises help students develop both written and drawnresearch and analytical skills, reflect on lectures andreadings and prepare for the Comparative Analysis folio.
The schedule of exercises will be distributed in thetutorial and via LMS. The exercises can only besubmitted in person in the tutorial the week they are due.No late or electronic submissions are accepted, exceptin the case of documented illness.

Technical requirementsYou will need some of the following items during the course of the semester. Some of you will already be familiar with these things fromStudio Fundamentals ARCT1000. You will be advised you on what you will need. Some of the items can be bought progressively overtime as needed but you should endeavor to have at least a basic set of tools to use at the start of the semester. Discounts at supplyoutlets tend to be better at the start of semester.A base kit for controlled drawing would include an adjustable set square, a scale rule, pencils, tracing paper and masking tape. A smallsketchbook for ongoing recording of ideas and notes is useful and can become a key in the process work component of submissions.Other suggested design tools include:- A lightweight toolbox (for storage of drawing and model-making equipment)- Adjustable set square- Scale rule 1:5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 (combined)- Tracing paper- Masking tape- Sketchbook- A3 cardboard folio (for process work)- Set of Rotring drafting pens (0.18, 0.25, 0.35, 0.5 and/or 1.0)- Compass with ink pen and pencil head- Clutch pencils in a range of sizes (0.3, 0.5, 2.0)- Sharpener for large clutch pencils- Replacement leads for the clutch pencils (in a range of hardness and colours)- Box of quality coloured pencils (Faber Castell or similar)- Rotring ink eraser- Pencil eraser- Scalpel and blades- Scissors- Razor blades for hand held shaver- Soft blue malleable eraser- Erasing shield (thin foil template)- Model making card- Circle template- Flexible curve- Steel ruler and cutting mat- Model making glue - aquadhere-Tweezers
Additional resources and readingLearning Management SystemAll enrolled students have access to LMS (https://www.lms.uwa.edu.au/login.php). This site will be used to host the online lectures, forposting of notices, general unit information and supplementary course material (eg lecture handouts, useful web links, printablemanual), answers to pre-lab, lab and post-lab exercises, practice MCQs, continuous assessment results and to host a discussionforum. Students are encouraged to pose questions about course content on the discussion forum of the site so that all class memberscan view and contribute to the discussion
Other important informationStudios are expected to be left clean and tidy. Students must remove all personal property immediately after the submission of theirfolio. If the content of a folio is used for exhibition then the student must write their name on the back of the work so that when theexhibition is demounted collection is simplified. If staff or the Faculty wish to reserve work for reproduction and/or accreditationpurposes then this should be negotiated with individual students.
