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.
Covers fabrication technologies and materials, practical experimentation with a range of fabrication tools and an introduction to current research and development.
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.
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.
Examines the digital documentation, recording and reconstruction of buildings from 3-D scanning to 3-D modelling.
