3D Scanning for Urban Environments (BARC0188)

The module aims to give students a practical understanding of how 3D scanning technologies work, concentrating on LiDAR, photogrammetry and handheld scanning. It aims to inform students where each technology is most appropriately used according to the type and scale of subject matter and their downstream applications, in context of the wider industries. Students will develop competency in one or more of the technologies and conduct a proficient and safe scan of a site or site feature which is then realized into an appropriate outcome for presentation.

History and Theory of Architecture (BARC0134)

You are introduced to a range of historical and theoretical approaches, and research methods. These allow you to productively engage with specific architectural and urban questions, and themes. It posits that in-depth, critical and rigorous thinking, research and writing are vital in making sense of architecture, constantly shaped by, other contexts, fields, discourses and practices.

The course emphasizes the dynamic relationships between historical and theoretical work and contemporary design and practice; and between architecture and cities of the past and present.

It consists of three main elements:

a lecture series investigating the architectural and urban question of ‘space’, introducing you to a wide range of research methods and skills
	seminars in which you will have the opportunity to pursue a specialised theme via readings and discussions
	an independent research and writing project – involving a presentation, research proposal, and a final dissertation – on a topic of your choice in response to seminars
