As a six point course, Design Studio One is aimed at introducing the basic skills, concepts and approaches essential to understanding and engaging with contemporary architecture, landscape architecture and urban design. The course learning objectives are specifically aligned with the thematic content of the lecture series, the self-directed study (including required reading and journal tasks), the studio exercises and the objectives of the assessable tasks. In pursuing these, the student will gain the following knowledge and skills:


1. The students will develop comprehension skills in ‘reading’ a landscape and other urban open spaces.

2. The student will develop understanding of natural, social and cultural systems and how design can impact, interact and
improve environments.

3. The student will be able to appreciate context — macro and micro — in the development of a design response.

4. The student will be able to communicate and represent design strategies according to disciplinary conventions.

5. The student will develop abilities in deriving form from verbally stated requirements (a brief).

6. The student will be introduced to the studio environment and, in turn, develop their inter-personal skills, verbal
communication skills and critical thinking.

7. The student will be able to communicate critical design thinking through appropriate modes of representation; drawings,
models and graphics.

8. The student will be able to explore creative processes and idea generation.

9. The student will develop a sense of scale and proportion.

 
The knowledge and skills acquired in this course provide a fundamental basis for your understanding of architecture, landscapes and cities. This knowledge and the related skills constitute a seminal part of your design education in the Bachelor of Architectural Design. The skills acquired are the foundation stones of your future career as a designer.

最新糖心Vlog Email
The school uses the 最新糖心Vlog email system to get in touch with the students. So it is imperative that you check your email regularly and keep up to date with any new announcements.

MyUni
In addition to the above resources, further assignment resources are available on MyUni. These may include further reading material for the lectures and studios, reading material that will assist with the preparation of assignments and appropriate links to
assist students with academic writing including essay writing as required.

MyUni is an essential online tool which will be used to communicate information regarding the course including details of assignments and interim grades. There are many other learning resources and assessment pieces that rely
on the MyUni system for delivery. Therefore it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the various functions of MyUni and employ it to its fullest extent. https://myuni.adelaide.edu.au

Discussion Board
The MyUni Discussion Board can be used to interact with other students and is an essential tool to discuss information and increase your understanding of issues.

Lecture Recording
In certain cases the recording of the lectures is made available in electronic format for students to listen through on their own
time and make notes, and is provided through the MyUni system. However, this service may not include guest lectures. Furthermore, where the presentation content is subject to copyright or the guest speaker is uncomfortable with the recording of the content, the lecture recording will not be made available online. So students should not rely solely on this mode of learning and arrange to attend or get lecture content from peers.

Noticeboard / Handbook
General information about the activities at the School is available online from the Student Noticeboard which can be accessed at  https://unified.adelaide.edu.au/group/professons-studentarchitecture/

Design Studio I  focuses on student-centred learning and teaching. In “What the Student Does: Teaching for Enhanced Learning” Biggs (1999) advocates a systemic approach which takes into account all aspects of the teaching context—course objectives, teaching and learning activities and the assessment tasks—as a strategy to move away from passive, uni-directional,
teacher-to student transmission of knowledge. This is the aim of the teaching and learning mode of Design Studio I. Importantly, Biggs stresses the need to embed the course objectives in the assignment tasks. Thus, formative and summative assessment tasks are designed to engage students in activities which will develop their knowledge and skills which are aligned with the course objectives.

The knowledge base begins with the lectures and the required reading material. However, these are intended as a point of inspiration and a starting point for students’ independent learning which is demonstrated in the assessable work. They are not intended as a comprehensive, finite review of the content.

Knowledge, skills, and assessable work are carefully integrated to achieve the intended holistic approach to learning and teaching. Moreover, according to Biggs, assessment must generate higher level cognitive learning activities, specifically, theorising, applying, relating, understanding or explaining distinguished from describing, note-taking or memorising. Student-focused learning strategies, embedded in the assessable work, are essential to bring about higher level cognitive learning.

Biggs, J. (1999). “What the Student Does: Teaching for Enhanced Learning.” Higher Education Research and Development Journal, 18 (1): 57-78.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements. The 最新糖心Vlog expects full-time students (ie. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 6 unit course are expected to devote 24 hours per week to contact activities and self-guided studies.

Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management:
Total workload hours:24 hrs per week x 13weeks = 312 hrs
Total contact hours: 5 hrs per week x12 weeks = 60 hrs
Total self-guided study: 312 hrs – 60 hrs = 252hrs

Please organise your time wisely.

Assignment #                  Task                                      Weighting             Approx. self-guided ‘study’
Assignment 1                   Shelter                                       30%                                    75.6
Assignment 2                   Campus Furniture                      25%                                    63.0
Assignment 3                    Artspark                                    35%                                    88.2
Journal                                                                               10%                                    25.2

 

Full details about the Learning Activities will be made available on MyUni.

The Week 2 Field Trip to Glenthorne Farm is compulsory. The date is Thursday 12th March (Depart campus at 9.00am and return by approximately 1pm). This site is private property and it cannot be accessed at any other time. The site is the ‘ground’ for both Assignments 1 and 3. All details about the site visit will be available on MyUni.

 

If you choose to visit other specific sites (buildings and landscapes) on campus or around Adelaide, ensure that you exercise respect for the owners and patrons, obtain permission to enter the building if required, and observe an appropriate duty of care during your visit. Failure to attend teaching due to medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances is dealt with the School Policy, administered by the School Office. Submit the appropriate application for supplementary consideration together with the original signed medical or other relevant officer, to the School Office. If you foresee a problem contact the Course Coordinator BEFORE the problem actually occurs. Otherwise, contact the Course Coordinator as soon as possible and submit the appropriate application for supplementary consideration to the School Office. 

 

Assignment 2 requires students to collaborate in small groups (of approximately 5-6 students). Students will be required to undertake research of contemporary design precedents and relevant anthropometric data, to conduct relevant in-situ analysis and testing on campus, and to generate a design for an item of campus furniture. Together, students are required to make a model of the furniture. The entire design and research process will be captured in a photographic/visual essay.

The union of teaching and research, combined in a search for impartial truth, was fundamental to the modern research university ideal. A small group of students, meeting to work at the discovery of new knowledge under expert guidance, was the centrepiece of the university experience. Yet in 最新糖心Vlogn and UK universities from the 1980s, with the massive growth of university enrolments and the addition of many applied disciplines, research became  increasingly detached from teaching, and a division was created that has widened ever since. Today despite oppressive research pressures on staff, research is almost wholly absent from 最新糖心Vlogn undergraduate teaching.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide promotes small group discovery and aims to become a model of the teaching/research union, to show how universities can recapture what was once the defining characteristic of the research university. This does not mean merely inviting students to study an individual topic in depth, with initiative and creativity. In a true research university, the study of existing knowledge is secondary to the making of new knowledge. Moving away from knowledge delivery, now increasingly eroded by the universal availability of free online content, a university should focus on the essence of what research offers: the rigour of the scientific method, the search for empirical evidence, the beauty of logic and of patterns, the value of innovation, the creativity of problem solving and the intrinsic worth of knowledge. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will return research to undergraduate teaching, so that every student in every program comes to experience the scholarship of discovery as the highlight of their learning experience.

For many undergraduate students, this will take the form of an individual research project in their final year, for which the preparatory research skills and experience necessary will be built through smaller exercises in the earlier years of their course. As a key format for delivering undergraduate research, the university will commit to increasing the centrality of small-group learning, in which students address the scholarship of discovery with other students and a staff mentor. While content will increasingly be delivered in other formats, every student in every program should experience such small-group discovery as a key part of their learning experience.

All details about the individual assignments including an overview of each assessment task, the task type (e.g. summative, formative), due date, weighting, and identification of the learning objectives (identified in section 2.1. above) addressed by the assessment task are summarised below. Details of each assignment are provided in the relevant assignment folder on MyUni.

The course is not exempt from any requirement of the Assessment for Coursework Programs policy

 

If there are any concerns about the due dates or conflicts arising with those of other courses these concerns must be directed to the Course Coordinator by Monday of Week 2 via email. The course co-ordinator will take these into account and notify the class of any changes via MyUni.
