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 in the area of Architectural Technology and Practice. ARCH7071 focuses on research topics relating to environmental design and may include the critical analysis of environmental design theory and concepts of sustainability, and developing strategies and propositions for the design of low-carbon and resilient environments. Research may be undertaken through: fieldwork and analysis of buildings and sites; evaluation of environmental performance using scientific methods and software; literature review; the formulation of critical positions in written texts or reports; and the development of design propositions that explore the application of technologies and strategies at building and urban scale. Students will be part of a cohort working closely with an academic or practitioner experienced in the field with research topics grounded in real world engagement with research partners from industry, government, cultural organisations and allied research groups. This course may not be available every semester. Please consult the School of Architecture for semester availability including summer semester and intensive coursework offerings. This course may be offered as a single topic or multiple topics depending on the availability of subject experts and academics.
