Subject description
This subject involves the student in design for a building retrofit in the context of state-of-the-art ecological design. The student will be engaged in the development of the brief through the analysis of an existing building for use as a non-residential building. Students will align the structure and form with … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to:
1.
Employ iterative design approaches informed by critical analysis of contemporary environmentally sustainable initiatives and alignment of these with existing building form and structures.
2.
Contextualise design approaches for adaptive redevelopment of an existing building, through critically interrogating key debates, positions, practices and precedents in conversion of the building to achieve contemporary sustainable building standards.
3.
Synthesise priorities in the development of detailed designs and documentation of interior spaces and elements to integrate environmental systems in an aesthetic accord with the existing structure.
4.
Develop schematic design solutions for a given building at macro and micro scales aligning conceptual frameworks with functional, environmental, technical and regulatory requirements.
5.
Prepare technical documentation for a complex architectural engineering project, including the written and graphic explanation of the project demonstrating appropriate research conventions.
6.
Prepare a design performance report which employs appropriate evaluation protocols to assess the effectiveness of the proposed design’s ability to achieved the projects design specifications as well as evaluating the design process which developed the outcome.
