2. Module Synopsis
This module is the culmination of the second level architectural design studies. It acknowledges anumber of different approaches within architectural design. Students are required to complete amedium scale design project that demonstrates an integrated approach to design, technology andcommunication. This provides a vehicle for preparing a professional CV and portfolio of work.

following problems: • Spatial organisation, horizontal and vertical circulation in thebuilding and its external environment • Contextual relationships and the building's impacton the existing urban (or rural) fabric • Integration of structure and space, materials andconstruction methods • Composition and detailed design of elements which enhance theaesthetic and technical qualities of the building
LO4 Communicate the proposals through a coordinated set of drawings, models, sketchbookand verbal presentations in an exhibition context.
LO5 Demonstrate and evaluate the presentation of a professional CV and portfolio.
5. Learning and Teaching Strategy/Methods
By design exercise, seminar, tutorial, group tutorial, student-led discussion, visits and critiques, asappropriate.
6. Assessment
Coursework: 100% Coursework Assessment will be through design project assignments presented inan exhibition context. That is, specified exhibition material together with a portfolio and sketchbookincluding preliminary studies and design development work presented by the student with anopportunity to answer questions from the assessment panel. Feedback is given verbally and inwriting at crits at interim and final stages. All assignments contribute to the module mark reported tothe exam board.
