Introduction BAS115 Architecture and Interior Architecture Methods is an immersive unit that will form the basis of your studies over the next several years. It involves thinking, drawing, exploring, speculating, describing, re-thinking, re-drawing… It requires curiosity, care and dedication.

This unit has a co-requisite, BAS115 Architecture and Interior Architecture Methods. Students will be participating in both components concurrently.

Studio involves the conceptualisation of design propositions; their development, exploration and refinement. Methods is concerned with the communication of these ideas through architectural drawings and models.

In our discipline, a designer’s ability to conceive of and represent ideas are equally important. As such, students must successfully complete both components.

METHODS COMPONENT

Communication in Architecture and Interior Architecture occurs primarily through the production of drawings and visual imagery. Drawings, whether created manually or using computers, constitute the language shared by architect, client, builder, and peer. They are the description for the client, the instructions for the builder, and perhaps most importantly, the tool for the exploration and development of their author’s idea. All design in our discipline emerges from, and returns to, the drawn field. Becoming adept at drawings – as the primary means of transcribing your thinking – is an essential part of your training. Design Communication is concerned with the conventions and methods that are employed in the reading and the generation of architectural drawings.

Architectural drawing involves a continual translation between life sized forms and their representation on the drawing board. They might be quantitative (conveying acute measurements, positions in space) or qualitative (describing emotive facets of a project, intent, spatial perception). This translation requires the use of scale – the means by which objects undergo a reduction in relative dimensions to fit the page – as well as a description of volume, mass, thickness and texture.

In this unit we will be focusing primarily on orthographic projection, whereby lines are cast from a three dimensional object to the page as two dimensional, flattened images. We will also be sketching, photographing, and making lots of mistakes.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

On successful completion of this unit students can: Graduate Attributes addressed

1 Produce sketches and models as tools to investigate the exploratory process of spatial design

2 Apply learnt drawing conventions and methods to investigate orthographic projection





Curtin's Graduate Attributes

Learning Activities The learning activities for this unit are all available online and are arranged into weekly modules. Each module consists of a range of resources including:

l The module content – this is provided to you as Word documents; l Readings – you will need to refer to your text book as well as a number of journal articles and book chapters

which are available online through the Curtin Library E-Reserve system; l Collaborate Sessions - real time communication with your tutor and other members. During these sessions

you will show your work for feedback and discussion. Partaking in Collaborate sessions is essential to do well in this unit;

l Ning - separate site for you to share your workings and view those of others. Peer to peer feedback is encouraged and promoted;

l Discussion board participation – communicate with your Unit tutor and other students in your class through the discussion board; plus

l Any additional module specific websites and related resources.

Students will have access to Module materials via Blackboard, in addition to which they will be expected to participate in the Discussion Board activities to learn from each other and their tutor. There is also an expectation for students to undertake a reasonable amount of self-directed learning to supplement the Module materials. The notes alone cannot be considered sufficient knowledge to pass this unit and additional self directed learning will be required reading (i.e. from the recommended reading list), reading professional journals, discussion board activities with peers and other industry personnel and ultimately in watching and listening to the environment around you. The Program Calendar provides the broad topics that are covered in lectures each week.

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Assessment Overview The assessments for this studio are all interrelated, which means it is important to keep up with each one of them as work and feedback from the first leads onto the next one, and the assignments span both units and will be marked against different criteria for each. The final design project is a culmination of everything you learn and practice throughout the studio and methods units.

It is not only critical to understand the principles of design (BAS110 – Studio), but also to develop the skills to communicate your ideas clearly (BAS115 – Methods). In order to communicate your design ideas you will need to start to learn the language of architecture. This comes through in the drawings, sketches, models and collages you will be asked to make and submit. This is the focus of BAS115, the methods unit. You will need to know how to do each of these and then as your design progresses, to use them to share your ideas.

An overview of the assessments follows. For further details about these please see the Assessment Tab in the Blackboard Menu.

In general the assessments move from free drawing to observing and accurately measuring a resting place and then designing a resting place using architectural drawings. You will then start to look at the city in which you live and learn through the lecture content about how this is perceived, that is the context in which your final design will be placed. You will look carefully at a city space and prepare to design and place a resting place and urban performance space in it. You will be given opportunities to express your ideas about how you came to your decisions through words, collage, sketches, research, film- whatever else you feel will add to your design and the communication of it.

Each assessment will be submitted once, and marked on two sets of criteria. In general your studio mark will reflect your design process, conceptual endeavor, clarity of idea and depth of understanding and your methods mark will reflect your mastery of the methods of communication through drawing, modelling and presentation. The weighting of each assessment for studio and methods is different and is described below.

Assessment 1: Major Project 1 (35%) Due end of week 5 (midnight Sunday) The methods component requires the submission of assessment 1A and 1B.

Major Project 1A: Mapping the Site (20%) Due end of week 5 (midnight Sunday) You should, through this assessment, become aware of the processes involved in experiencing and understanding spaces in our urban environments. You will have to pay attention to the environment as both an object of our experience and a context that shapes our experiences; and ultimately our individual personalities by way of it becoming the context for our lives. You have to consider questions such as:

l How do we implement what we know and understand of a city in a project? l How do we make projects that have an urban and social context? l How do you communicate these findings?

You will record the site in two different ways- as an object of scientific enquiry, and as a personal perception. You might need to use a variety of tools, such as still cameras, movie cameras, paper and pencils and coloured ink.

Major Project 1B: Drawing Set (15%) Due end of week 6 (midnight Sunday) You will construct a plan, section, elevation and axonometric projection using mechanical drawing techniques. These drawings will all be of the same thing- an existing bus stop, and will be laid out and submitted on an A1 page.

See the assessment brief for further information and submission details.

2. Assessment 2: Major Project 2 (35%) Due end of weeks 8 and 12 (midnight Sunday)

Assignment 2A - Designing and Installation (20%) Due end of week 8 (midnight Sunday) Design an installation as a flower kiosk, bike stop shop or a resting place. The installation can be located anywhere within your chosen area so long as it is accessible and works in conjunction with movement through the site as identified in Assessment 1, either to accentuate it or alter it. Start by locating the resting place on your site and explaining why it is there. Describe your users –who are they, where are they going, what are they doing? The answers to these questions will be informed by your site analysis. Then develop a concept or idea about this installation. Your concept should be derived from site mapping. Through your site investigation, you should have a concept, or an idea about the place. This idea will be further developed as it is developed in influenced by the type of space you are going to design. You should then begin to research your idea or concept. For example you may take the idea of resting, or the parts of a flower or bike and analyse it in detail. Draw, explore and think. Look at how other artists and architects have used these ideas and explain how it might inspire your design. Develop your installation through plans, sections, elevations and axonometrics at 1:20; through model-making; and through photo collage (inserting images of your model into site images to see how it relates to its context). Remember to





focus on materiality and the use of the resting place and to indicate these in your drawings. Remember at all stages to load your process work onto Ning to receive feedback and aid you design development.


Assignment 2B – Designing a Performing Place (15%) Due end of week 12 (midnight Sunday) A performance place is somewhere where a viewer can appreciate a display of some sort. Performance can be a traditional show, but we would like you to think of performance in a more abstract way, as active participation in the urban environment. As we move through and use the city we are all performers in some way. You are to design a space for performance in the urban environment. You may choose to develop your ideas from project one on a larger scale on a new site, or you may want to do a purely abstract performance space.

Pay attention to the elements of your proposed space- its form, materiality and how it acts during the night and day. Also consider how it affects the site- does it change the way people move through the space? How does it interact with your last project?

The required spaces that your performance place must provide are:

l viewing space; l seating; l a stage; and l an enclosure of some sort over at least a portion of the space.

Develop your performance place through plans, sections, elevations and axonometrics; through model-making; and through photocollage (inserting images of your model into site images to see how it relates to its context). Remember to focus on materiality and the use of the performance place and to indicate these in your drawings. As you develop your concept, you should look for precedents which may influence your design. There are many technical requirements for performance, such as lighting, acoustics and lines of sight that you may want to consider in your design process.

Remember at all stages to load your process work onto Ning to receive feedback and aid you design development.


3. Assessment 3 : Portfolio (30%) Due end of week 13 (midnight Sunday) A folio is a summary of your work in the unit and should be an edited, annotated document showing your reflections on your work and your process..


Pass requirements

An overall grade of 50% is required to pass to this unit, provided the following has been adhered to.

Submission of assignment work is compulsory and a student cannot pass in this unit without having submitted all assessment tasks. Failure to complete all assessments will result in a Fail-Incomplete grade even if the overall mark is more than 50%.





Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

Deferred assessments

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments, if granted by the Board of Examiners, will have a due date or be held between 04/01/2017 and 26/02/2017 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.

It is the responsibility of students to be available to complete the requirements of a supplementary assessment. If your results show that you have been granted a supplementary assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on studies

A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin. This support can include alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials in accessible formats, access to Curtin’s facilities and services or other support as discussed with an advisor from Disability Services (disability.curtin.edu.au). Documentation is required

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

Deferred examinations/tests will be held from 04/01/2017 to 26/02/2017 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.
