The ARCH1337 course is undertaken following the completion of the Design Studio programs. Major Project is the culmination of the design courses, and is the capstone subject of the Masters of Architecture program. Major Project aims to develop, apply and test your architectural design skills at a high level. Major Project is the final stage of this develop, and in successfully completing the subject you will have design skills suitable for entering the architectural profession.

Like the design studios before, Major Project develops an understanding of a selected range of technical, theoretical, historical and professional issues, the ability to integrate this understanding into their design proposals and the communication techniques necessary to demonstrate these. As a 36 credit point subject, those capabilities are expected to be developed and demonstrated in a correspondingly more comprehensive manner. In addition, you will develop the ability, in consultation with your supervisor, to establish your own program of architectural investigation that can best convey your particular interests and capabilities. In conjunction with your supervisor, you will devise a program of study - a brief in architectural terms - to suit your particular architectural interests. Notes and handouts are provided each semester to guide this development and outline particular requirements for any given semester.
