Content
This unit challenges students to creatively think through principles computer-aided modelling and design communication. Students will learn about and engage in specific methods to imagine, conceive and represent the spatial geometry and form between digital environments and tangible manifestations. They will be provided with the opportunity to learn and apply new platforms and software for the digital engagement of architectural representation. Learning and assessment activities provide the opportunity to pursue visualisation of models through both preliminary and resolved mediums. Alongside the designated creative outputs, students will be required to demonstrate the process they have engaged and to develop a mode of presentation as the means to reflection and learning for professional practice.
| ULO | These are the Learning Outcomes (ULO) for this unit. At the completion of this unit, successful students can: | Deakin Graduate Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|
| ULO1 | Use digital modelling techniques to translate design intent into a geometric model that is representative of architectural form or space. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO2 | Communicate creative architectural ideas through visuals, models and written means to a professional audience. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO3 | Critically evaluate and reflect on processes utilised in design modelling and articulate effectiveness from conceptualisation through to the realisation of creative work for future professional practice. | GLO2: Communication |
These Unit Learning Outcomes are applicable for all teaching periods throughout the year
