This course is the third of four courses in your program which collectively provide you with a comprehensive understanding of contemporary architectural technologies and their application in the design of architecture. These courses aim to provide you with knowledge about structural, constructional, environmental, and servicing requirements for buildings coupled with an appreciation of the associated design implications of these technologies as they are translated into building form. It is intended that not only are you provided with a firm grounding in architectural technologies, but also an understanding of the architectural design implications of these technologies.

Architectural Technology 3 aims to provide you with the skills, knowledge and understanding of the technologies required to design smaller institutional and commercial scale building. The course introduces you to a broad range of structural, constructional, environmental, and servicing systems used in buildings and an understanding of how the technologies are enmeshed in the architectural design process. Working in a group, you will design and document a small commercial/institutional scale building. and in so doing, develop a comprehensive understanding of the application and integration of the broad range of technologies used in buildings of this scale.

This course includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry.
