ARCHDRC (Architectural Media and Fabrication)

← Back to all subjects

Stage I

ARCHDRC 104 - Architectural Media 2 (15 pts)🏳

Examines specific types of representation – both freehand and digital – used in architectural media to develop concepts, evaluate architectural thinking and describe and refine design projects.

Restriction: ARCHDRC 202

Stage II

ARCHDRC 203 - Architectural Media 3 (15 pts)🏳

Explores the relationship between methods of architectural drawing and the three-dimensional communication of fabrication and assemblage. Central to this investigation is an understanding of how drawing is evolving in relation to new technologies.

Prerequisite: ARCHDRC 103, 104 or BLTENV 103

Restriction: ARCHDRC 301, 303, 304, 370, 371, 372, 373

Postgraduate 700 Level Courses

ARCHDRC 700 - Advanced Digital Fabrication (15 pts)🏳

Covers fabrication technologies and materials, practical experimentation with a range of fabrication tools and an introduction to current research and development.

ARCHDRC 701 - Timber Fabrication (15 pts)🏳

Covers fabrication technologies with timber materials. Includes the design and realisation of a small timber building through the preparation of concept plans, developed design plans and a scale models.

ARCHDRC 702 - Special Topic: Architectural Drawing (15 pts)🏳

Builds a research literature review that supports architectural drawing and design processes, including historical overview of conceptual approaches and applications of drawing, scale and linearity, time and duration, exhibition and documentation, leading to production of series of drawings.

ARCHDRC 703 - Special Topic (15 pts)🏳

ARCHDRC 704 - Digital Reconstruction of Buildings (15 pts)🏳

Examines the digital documentation, recording and reconstruction of buildings from 3-D scanning to 3-D modelling.

Prerequisite: ARCHDRC 203 Architectural Professional Studies
