ARCH 7045 - Development Studio

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2015

This studio explores the processes by which medium to large scale multi-storey urban projects are initiated, developed documented and delivered. It addresses issues related to various stakeholders, environmental systems, structures and construction appropriate to the scale of such projects. Students from architecture and associated built environment disciplines work together to analyse context, negotiate a brief and develop a concept and detailed design. Students develop critical thinking and formulate responses to the challenges of a given physical, economic, social and policy context. The outcome should be a costed design which demonstrates understanding and critique of its context. The design exploration and proposition shall be communicated through graphic and verbal presentations and may include three dimensional models.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
