Speaker Series
The School hosts a lecture series in the evenings (6pm Horace Lamb Lecture Theatre) 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:
https://unified.adelaide.edu.au/group/professons-student-architecture/enrolments

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 attend lectures as these will provide the initial basis for further discussion and critique toward development of assessable outputs. Lectures may not be recorded. 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.

- Tutorial:
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.

- Workshop:
It will be held in computer lab 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. 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.

- 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 2-4pm Lower Napier, LG29, Lecture Theatre. Tutorials are on Tues/Wed in Union House 432, Margaret Murray Room. Workshops (wk 3,4,10,11) are on Mondays in Arch 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.

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

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.
