Your project must be presented completed for examination. Appropriate communication techniques are necessary, which could include final and working/testing physical models, scaled drawings, 1:1 constructions, computer representatives as 3D models and time-based animations. You should attempt to make the project as complete as you can within time limits and the scale of the work that is being addressed.

It is anticipated that the design portfolio will incorporate drawings and models that have been prepared for the Year 3 Technology module and Computing classes/workshops/seminars. You are asked to determine a personal and appropriate way of producing work. You should also consider your portfolios as a whole, so that it is clear and concise.

Your portfolio should be assimilated quickly by others in review conditions and also enjoyed, and understood at length in other circumstances.

This is a project based module open to second year BSc Architecture students.

The aim of the module is to build upon the year one projects and develop student abilities in design.

The major design project, BARC0096 and 0135, develops alongside computing classes/workshops/seminars, and the technology module BARC0099 and both technical submissions are based on the Year 2 building design.
Students are also required to participate in computing skills classes and Unit-led computing workshops and seminars throughout Year 2, including Computing skills classes in Term 1 and unit-led Computing workshops and seminars in Term 2 and Term 3. Attendance is compulsory and each unit (design group) has an appointed Computing tutor(s). Year 2 students are required to demonstrate the skills gained, as well as how they are a valuable and critical tool in the development of the design work

The resolution of any project demands that a ‘final’ stage is presented completely, concisely and coherently so that it can be examined. Appropriate communication techniques must be used, which could include final and working/testing physical models, spatial and scaled drawings, 1:1 constructions, computer representatives as 3D models and time-based animations. At this point, students should attempt to make the project as complete as they can within the limits of time available and the scale of the work being addressed.
