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 relating to Society and the Built Environment. ARCH7092 focuses on research topics specific to cross-cultural architecture and may include: the analysis and critical evaluation of contemporary practices that engage with diverse cultural groups; the exploration of design responses that address specific cultural practices and cultural environments; and issues of cultural diversity, equity and agency in the built environment. Research may be undertaken through fieldwork, community consultation, literature review, the formulation of written arguments or reports, and the development of design propositions that explore aspects of designing for diverse cultural groups. 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 current topics and challenges. 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.
