RHINO 7 COURSES
Students are required to complete 2 short online courses on Rhino 7 available via Architstar Academy.

- Rhino 7 Essentials (3 hours) introduces designers to the essentials of Rhino 3D. Students will learn the interface, basic drawing skills and the essentials of 3D Modelling with both surfaces and solids. Students will also learn how to extract 2D drawings and are introduced to rendering.

- Rhino 7 Designer (3.5 hours) teaches Rhino 7 users how to increase their 2D / 3D Design workflow productivity. Students will learn how to customise their modelling environment and take control of their 3D model. Students will also learn how to extract 3D curves from surfaces and use tips and tricks to construct advanced surfaces.

Rhino 7 is available 24/7 on the architecture computer laboratories (Fishbowl and 539). Rhino is an essential tool that is used extensively throughout the Bachelor of Architectural Design and the Master of Archtecture for design exploration and modelling.

As a six unit course, Design Studio One introduces the fundamental 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 readings and preparation for studio exercises), the studio exercises and the objectives of the assessable tasks.

On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Research, analyse and synthesise knowledge about a specific site in the development of a design response, with particular attention to topography, landscape character, users, sensory information and climate.

2. Apply fundamental design principles (primary elements, composition of form and space, proportion and scale, ordering principles) to their assessable work.

3. Work productively in a studio environment and, in turn, develop inter-personal skills, verbal communication skills and critical thinking through small group discovery activities and formative studio exercises.

4. Communicate critical design thinking according to disciplinary conventions; drawings, models and graphics.

5. Explore creative processes and idea generation and demonstrate critical evaluation of these processes in their assessable work.

6. Appraise how design can impact, interact with, and improve environments.

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.

EQUIPMENT KIT
All students must purchase an equipment kit. Eckersley's Art Supplies have prepared a kit which is the most economical way to purchase this equipment. Students will also be required to purchase model making materials during the course, including Week 1.
Details about the equipment kit will be provided on MyUni.  

Detailed information about further resources will be available on MyUni. This includes a detailed bibliography of relevant sources that will continue to inform your studies.

Academic Support
Consult “The Writing Centre” for on-line resources re: essay writing guides, study guides, referencing. http://www.adelaide.edu.au/writingcentre/.

Face-to-Face writing support is also available from Hub Central, Level 3. The Writing Centre provides academic learning and language support and resources for local, international, undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students enrolled at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

The Writing Centre offers practical advice and strategies for students to master reading, writing, note-taking, and referencing techniques for success at university. Please note, the drop-in service is not an editing or grammar checking service but the Centre can help you develop your written English.

No appointment is necessary. For greater assistance, please bring your course guide, assignment question, comments from your lecturers/tutors, and drafts of your writing.

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. It is expected students check 最新糖心Vlog email account regularly as this is the primary means of individual contact. Also, check Canvas for regular updates, announcements and online material at 

Based on such communication, it will be assumed you are aware and prepared before each studio, lecture or scheduled meeting time in regards to any prior communication. Studio Leaders will NOT respond to individual email correspondence. Be prepared to ask your questions in studio, preparation before class is therefore essential so you can make full use of this time to communicate and seek advice from studio leaders.

MyUni / Canvas
In addition to the above resources, further assignment resources are available on MyUni / Canvas. 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 / Canvas 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 Canvas 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 Recordings
All lectures will be available online on Tuesdays on MyUni.

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 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 14 weeks = 336 hrs (includes mid-semester break)

Maximum contact hours:                
6 hrs per week x 12 weeks + Induction + 3 hour Hot Course = 76 hrs

Total self-guided study:                           
336 hrs – 76 hrs = 260 hrs

Please organise your time wisely.

 
Assignment #     Task (and Weighting)             Approximate self-guided ‘study’ hours


Assignment 1        'Model'                                           85 (group)

Assignment 2        'Yoga Shelter'                                 85

Assignment 3        'Design like a Pro'                           90

This will be available on MyUni.

Assignment 3 is an Assessment Hurdle. Students must achieve > 40% in this assignment to to Pass the course. In addition, students must present their work in person (Assignment 3) in Week 13; a schedule will be provided on MyUni. Students are expected to listen to the presentations by their peers.

Students are required to complete specified Hot Courses and 2 x Rhino 7 Courses as part of Design Studio I. These short courses will provide practical, on-site training to use our supervised, world-class Innovation Studios, in the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology, to gain skills that will be useful throughout the Program. Details about self-enrolment in these Hot Courses and Rhino 7 will be available in MyUni.

Failure to attend scheduled teaching or to submit work due to medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances is dealt with the School Policy, administered by the School Office. Submit the appropriate application for consideration for an extension 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.

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.

Students who miss more than 25% of the scheduled teaching (lectures, studios, field trip) and whose overall mark is below 45 will not automatically be granted extensions and/or replacement examinations, even if the application is submitted.

Assignment 1 'DesignDNA' 30%, Group (within Studio Group). 

Assignment 2 'Yoga Shelter' 25%, Individual. 

Assignment 3 'Design Like a Pro' 35%, Individual.  Oral Presentations during your scheduled Studio during Week 13.

Hot Courses 5%

Rhino 7 Courses 5%

Refer to MyUni for specific submission dates and details of all your assignments.

Please advise your Course Coordinator of any clashes - in the case of major submissions - by Week 2, for consideration.

Students are expected to attend all lectures and studios. Class rolls will be maintained to monitor attendance. Membership of studios is to be finalised by the end of the first week of semester 1. Students wishing to swap between studios after this time are required to present their case to the coordinator (Armin Mehdipour), but should be aware that such a request may not be approved. It is important to maintain a good staff to student ratio.

There are well publicised School policies for registering non-attendance for legitimate reasons, and you are strongly encouraged to formally acknowledge non-attendance reasons as soon as is practicable prior to planned absences or after your non-planned absence. The Medical and Counselling services, as well as the Education and Welfare Office of the 最新糖心Vlog, are available to assist you free of charge in regard to medical or counselling matters.

Students are required to attend all scheduled teaching; and lectures, tutorials and other classes will proceed on the assumption that students have done so. Attendance at tutorials, seminars, practical work and studio sessions is taken into account in decisions about offering Replacement/Additional Assessment and/or examinations. Students who regularly do not attend sessions and do not carry out the associated work may be precluded from and regarded as having failed the course. Students should take advantage of the educational opportunities offered by all classes, including the opportunity for interaction, and learning from each other. Compulsory attendance is necessary at all practical work sessions for a number of reasons: to achieve this interaction, in particular in group work;
because of the sequential nature of work in some courses; because of the need for students to provide an audience and feedback for other students presenting work; and to ensure the authorship of project work on which assessment is based.

When the assignments are to be presented during a studio, students must arrive and submit their work at the beginning of the studio (as directed). Students who arrive later than 10 minutes after the studio commences will not be allowed to present and will receive 0 mark. It is expected that all students will remain to listen to the presentations by their peers during studio presentations.

Students are required to complete specified Hot Courses as part of Design Studio I. These courses will provide practical, on-site training to use our supervised, world-class Innovation Studios, in the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology, to gain skills that will be useful throughout the Program. Details about self-enrolment in these Hot Courses will be available in MyUni.

Information will be available on MyUni.

All details about the assignment submissions will be provided on MyUni.

Final results for the course will only be available through Access Adelaide and students SHOULD NOT contact the course coordinator or the tutors for the same.

Most assignments will be marked within 3 weeks of the submission. Students are expected to inform the Course Coordinator if there are any errors or issues arising in relation to their assessment. The best examples of students’ work will be included in the All-In Exhibition to be held at the end of term alongside the best works from other courses and year levels.

Please note the following general points about Submissions:          

(General)                 
- All submissions must include Student ID Number. 
- Please adhere to submission deadlines and follow instructions provided.
- Students must not submit work for an assignment that has previously been submitted for this course or any other course without prior approval from the Course Coordinator.
- On occasion, the lecturer/tutor may wish to retain students’ work for future reference and the relevant student will be informed at such a time.

Early Submission: 
- Submissions can be uploaded on MyUni prior to the submission deadline.
- Models for in-class presentation cannot be handed in early.

Late Submission:  
- The school will NOT accept late submissions and any such assignment will receive zero marks. This also applies to electronic submissions.
- Printing delays & hard disk crashes will not be entertained as legitimate causes for delay, so please ensure that the work is finished in advance.

Re-submission:     
- The school has a resubmission policy whereby students can redeem failed work by submitting additional work for a maximum of 50%. 

Good practice:       
- Students should ensure that they regularly backup their work on multiple locations as hard-disk crashes are an unfortunate reality.
- When relying on community printing facilities, students should attempt to finish their work in advance to avoid unnecessary delays.
- Students must retain a copy of all assignments submitted (digital or hardcopy), as originals may be lost during the submission process.
