The teaching team changes from year to year and details are provided on MyUni.

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

1. Identify key principles of the history, theory and practice of architectural design.

2. Analyse and evaluate architecture in context: how buildings, public spaces, streets, landscapes, transport, and amenities are brought together to make a good sense of place. 

3. Produce architectural design propositions that interpret and contribute to the project's geo-physical, urban, social and historic contexts.

4. Develop skills in defining an architectural program in response to the design brief. 

5. Demonstrate confidence and self-motivation as a designer with sophisticated visual and verbal communication skills.

6. Develop competencies in a 'live' project responding to a brief generated by the District Council of Yankalilla

Learning resources will be made available on MyUni.

Project-specific resources will be provided as needed during the course.

Speaker Series:
The School has a fortnightly lecture series where respected practitioners and academics from the field deliver a public lecture on contemporary architectural practice. In order to expand your knowledge of contemporary directions in design it is recommended that you attend these sessions. The sessions are scheduled for Tuesday 6pm at the Horace Lamb Lecture Theatre, and the exact detail of dates and speakers is available from the School website and the Front Office.

Academic Support:
The Professions Learning Centre (PLC) provides postgraduate coursework students of the Faculty of Professions free academic skills advice on critical analysis and structuring assignments, paraphrasing, referencing, oral presentation skills and other skills to assist with success at university. You are encouraged to take advantage of the service to enable you to improve your performance in your studies. To contact a Learning Advisor please send an email to professions.learningcentre@adelaide.edu.au.

Lecture summaries, image pdfs, hand-outs, links for further reference and additional material considered of interest will be posted on the MyUni website following the relevant class.

A Discussion Board and ability to share and build Group work will also be a feature of work for this Course.

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.

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-student-architecture/current-student. Students can also access a copy of the Student Handbook at the following link:  

Design Studio III involves three modes of teaching and learning:

1. Weekly Lecture/Seminar
A weekly 2-hour lecture/seminar involves the following activities:
   a. Presentation and discussing course information, submission, expectations, assessments and oter procedual matters.
   b. Presentation and discussion of history, theory, and practice of urban design, both in general and in relation to selected projects.
   c. Guest talks, tests, group discussions, and student presentations.

2. Weekly Studio Sessions
A weekly 4-hour studio session devoted to the following activities:
   a. Individual face-to-face meeting with a design tutor to discuss design ideas/proposals and provide guidance for development and submission.
   b. Group work, design collaboration, and discussion.
   c. Staged formal presentations, reviews, and assessments.

This is a 6 unit course. Students in this course are expected to attend 6 hours of lecture/tutorial/seminar each week and allow for 18 hours of self-directed learning each week. That is a total of 24 hours a week for 12 weeks. The tutorials and other activities, including reviews of work in progress are an important component of learning in this course. The communication skills developed by regularly and actively participating in activities and discussions are considered extremely important by the School and are highly regarded by employers and professional bodies.

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 13 weeks = 312 Hrs
Total contact hours: 6 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 72 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 312 Hrs – 72 Hrs = 240 Hrs

These 240 hours should be used towards preparation of weekly tasks and for completion of the various assignments associated with the course, including development of various skills required to complete the same. Please organise your time wisely.

The following summary presents a general overview of the learning and teaching activities in the course. These are subject to slight changes according to the specific demands of the class. Detailed descriptions of learning and teaching activities will be given during the course. Please check course announcements and emails daily.

Submissions (General):

• All submissions must include Student Name and Student ID Number. Submissions without Student Name or ID Number will not be considered for marking, and will receive zero marks in accordance with the guidelines.

• In addition, all assigments need to have an Assignment Cover Sheet which must be signed and dated by the student before submission. Please attach the cover sheet in front of the document, to the top left hand corner.

• 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:

• There is an early submission box located on Level 4 which is cleared out daily at 10am. Please mark your submission clearly before placing in box.

• 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.

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.
