STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Please respect the facilities throughout the University.

In the School of Architecture and Built Environment students are required to fabricate models, projects and other hands-on creative activities. Of course, you will make a mess in the process! No problem! Please clean up after yourself. If the materials are recyclable and you don't want to reuse them yourself, put them in the recycling bins. Don't leave paper/cardboard/offcuts on the floor or table, put them in the bin. Don't leave broken blades etc. on tables, put them in a sharps bin. Don't leave work (models, drawings etc) in a space (tutorial room, computer lab, studio) and expect to find it when you come back. The facilities are shared. The School recommends that you store your work in a locker available from ASA or in Hub Central.

The tables in the learning and teaching spaces (tutorial rooms, computer labs, studios) are NOT cutting mats. Would you use an exacto knife or a scalpel to cut model making materials directly on your dining table at home? No? Don't do it at the University. Use a cutting mat. If you don't have one, buy one. All students should have a cutting mat in their Equipment Kit. You are expected to bring this with you if you are model-making, using glue etc.

Students are permitted to bring food and drink into the learning and teaching spaces, but Please respect your peers. When you have finished your bottle of water, coffee cup, bubble tea, Coke, juice, Boost, Red Bull etc. etc. put it in the bin. Don't leave your takeaway meal festering on a table cultivating mould. Put it in the bin.

The importance of hygiene and cleanliness is amplified during COVID 19. Respect your peers. Respect your facilities. Please clean up after yourself at all times. This is your responsibility.

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

1. develop communication skills verbally and graphically in design context
2. encourage spatial thinking through digital and physical modelling
3. inspire critical vision/thinking for oneself and others
4. improve clear and informed articulation of design ideas
5. expand and confront one’s stereotypical boundary through design process.

- You will need continual access to MyUni for regular updates and course material
- The lectures will also facilitate discussion to course related matters.
- All students are expected to read and be familiar with all provided course information available on MyUni.

Speaker Series
The School hosts a lecture series in the evenings where practitioners/academics will deliver a lecture on design practice. As students of Architecture/LA Architecture, it will be to your advantage to attend these lectures to engage with design discourse and expand your knowledge of and exposure to design practice. Details of dates and speakers will be available in due course.

University Email:
The school uses the University 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:
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-canvas.adelaide.edu.au/

Discussion Board:
The MyUni Discussion Board can be used to interact with other students and tutors 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(canvas) system. However, this service is only available for lectures with essential course content and 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.

ARCHISTAR ACADEMY:
This course requires the use of Rhino. If you are eager to learn Rhino skills you should do the online lesson available on ARCHISTAR ACADEMY: https://academy.archistar.ai/enrol To enrol, enter your details, the email address will have to end in @adelaide.edu.au or @student.adelaide.edu.au for ArchiStar to register your account.
Students are recommended to do Rhino Essentials prior to week 3 workshop. This will help you follow the class better.
Along with Rhino, you will be required to use Adobe software, such as illustrator, photoshop and indesign, also available on ARCHISTAR.

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

This course requires high participation for each class. The course will include verbal communication between the students and teachers as well as use of MyUni and other digital mediums. There needs to be commitment from the students to do enough self-directed studies in order to participate in class.

Lectures:
Students are required to view lectures (online) as these will provide the initial basis for further discussion and critique toward development of assessable outputs. PDFs of slides may be provided but these may not contain critical verbal explanations of visual material. A range of lectures will background the diverse range of understandings and practice of design thinking.

Tutorials:
Time will be devoted to discussion of assessable assignment material and some exercises supporting delivery of the assignments. They are also the primary means to receive individual feedback via work-in-progress reviews. At this level of learning, peer review and commentary is encouraged as a valuable learning tool, both in offering comment on fellow-students’ work and in receiving and responding to comment on your own work. It is considered desirable to change and evolve your position throughout the course. Tutorials involve discussion and revision of points of view.

Workshops:
Workshops will be held ionline and time will be spent on developing and learning necessary computer skills to work on assignment material and some exercises supporting delivery of the assignments. The SABE Computer lab facilitates use of all software required to complete the course. Workshops are also the primary means to receive individual feedback via work-in-progress reviews. At this level of learning, peer review and commentary is encouraged as a valuable learning tool, both in offering comment on fellow-students’ work and in receiving and responding to comment on your own work.

Small Group Discovery:
There will be tasks undertaken as part of the ‘small group discovery’ mode of teaching & learning.

This is a 6 unit course. Students in this course are expected to attend 6 hours of lecture/ tutorial/ workshop 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.

Lectures are on Mondays. Tutorials are on Tues/Wed in Barr Smith South 534, in weeks 3,4,7 & 10 in the computer suite.

It is highly recommended that you own a personal laptop computer which can support computer software such as Rhino, photoshop, illustrator, indesign.
Ideal spec for student laptop: 17 inch, Windows 64 bit, minimum of 16 gig of RAM, Intel i7 (or equivalent). Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon HD 4890 or better.

Throughout the semester, you will be working on developing a three dimensional surface with spatial experience. The project site will be identified and informed in due time in class. Without being bounded by stereotypical ideas of what architecture should be, students are encouraged to explore what three dimensional surface could be. The goal of the assignments is to help you explore and develop your own potential in design thinking. The students are encouraged to explore the possibilities of all available tools. Be experimental in what you use, how you use. Be critical about what you are doing and seeing. Keep an open mind and your eyes open to see how other architects and designers express their ideas.
