Short Description
For the architecture studio component of the MEng, students are required to develop a structurally intensive project for a public building on a restricted city centre site.

None
Co-requisites
None
Assessment
Assessment based entirely on portfolio, submitted after the completion of the course.
Course Aims
The aims of this course are to:
■ enhance and develop the knowledge and understanding accumulated over the previous courses, in particular the ability to work effectively in developing a structurally intensive project.
■ demonstrate design ideas, skills, imagination, and ambition. In particular, the combined potential of the site and the programme should be identified, explored and exploited in your vision, expressed through drawings and models.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
By the end of this course students will be able to:
■ select a line of enquiry that conveys the spirit and the personal vision that lies behind that quest and relates it to the experience of the world of the emerging engineer;
■ identify an explicit strategy for dealing with structural loads and for the choice of materials that together contribute to the architectural expression of the proposition;
■ show the integration of technical skill with the qualitative and expressive content of the architecture;
■ design in detail a significant aspect of the proposal.
