Course description

This course is one of a suite of elective Architectural Research courses that provide an opportunity to develop research skills and specialist knowledge through a guided independent research project. ARCH7060 provides students with the opportunity to undertake a focused research task in a specific area of research interest, conducted through a series of advisory meetings and self-directed study. The course expects students to achieve an advanced level of academic argument and the mastery of instruments for conducting and expressing that argument. The research project will result in a body of work that communicates the process, outcomes and value of the research. The mode of communication and scope shall be agreed upon between the student and the supervisor. This may include a written dissertation, fieldwork reports, artefacts from material experiments, designs, and research reports. Students commencing in Semester 1 enrol in ARCH7060 for Sem 1 and Sem 2; Students commencing in semester 2 enrol in ARCH7061 for Sem 2 and the following Sem 1.
