Honours (continued) Studies. The Honours Degree of Bachelor of Design Studies allows students to research a particular area from a wide range of topics such as: history of landscapes and buildings, cross-cultural architectural studies, and environmental studies. The Honours program opens the possibility for students to continue their studies into postgraduate (by research) programs, either at a Masters or PhD level. Overseas Studios An overseas design studio option is offered in the second level of this program. In 2011 this was in Edinburgh. MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE The Master of Architecture is the required and accredited qualification for registration as an architect. Most students enter the program via the Bachelor of Design Studies however there is also a significant cohort of international students and also some students who have completed a recognised undergraduate program elsewhere in Australia. This is an intensive four-semester length studiobased academic program that develops professional and creative abilities in a context of contemporary theory and practice of architecture. Projects are used as the basis for learning, discussion and review. Some projects lead students through technical, administrative, planning or other specific aspects of practice, while others promote innovative approaches to design with a more open agenda. The programs combine a global outlook with extensive use of case studies of Australian and international work. Teaching is by a combination of University staff and visiting practising professionals. Projects are used as the basis for learning, discussion and review. Some projects lead students through technical, administrative, planning or other specific aspects of practice, while others promote innovative approaches to design with a more open agenda. In the Master of Architecture program, assessment is based on project work rather than on examinations. Details of all assessment tasks and the weighting of
MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (continued) each are contained in the course guide for each course. Some courses contain assessment hurdles. These are components that must be passed to pass the course overall. MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE/MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE DOUBLE DEGREE This is an intensive six-semester length studiobased academic program that includes all of the requirements for the degrees of Master of Architecture and Master of Landscape Architecture. The School welcomes applications for entry into these programs from Australia and overseas. MINIMUM TIME FOR PROGRAM COMPLETION The equivalent of 3 years (Bachelors of Design Studies) + 2 years (Masters of Architecture) for full time study.

These studio based units investigate a series of architectural design themes through the model of studio teaching with the primary focus on project work. The units explore activities that architects undertake in order to bring together, assess and express the ideas that form the design of architectural-environmental projects: analysis, synthesis, evaluation and communication. A heavy emphasis is placed on environmental and social sustainability, design values and ethics.
The units introduce freehand, measured drawing techniques and practice, CAD, two and three-dimensional drawing conventions, illustration techniques for design presentation, model making and written and verbal presentation skills.
These units confront issues of design theory emanating from consideration of humanity and the humanly adapted environment. The units also form the context for, and impinge upon or interact with, architecture and design based projects. They deal with the effects of the built/natural environment upon human behaviour, and conversely with built and natural environment as a reflection of human values and behaviour. This stream includes overviews of: western architectural history, 20th Century architectural history, contemporary design theory, Australian architectural history and Asian architecture.
These units involve the study of external and internal environments. They cover the technology of materials, constructional components and process operations needed to build and fabricate a building. These units also include: design and assessment of structural and construction systems; the selection of materials and components; the provision of equipment and services necessary for the functioning of the built object; techniques of control of human factors; physical environment performance; and safety standards mandated by codes and regulations.
Electives are based on staff strengths and reflect the School's specialist skills in landscape architecture, interior design, furniture design, learning by making, community development, computer use in design, experimental digital design, ecologically sustainable architecture and urban design. Students may also take up to two electives from another School in the University, which may include discipline areas such as humanities, art and science.

These studio-based units investigate a series of architectural design themes through the model of studio teaching with the primary focus on project work. The units explore activities that architects undertake in order to bring together, assess and express the ideas that form the design of architectural-environmental projects: analysis, synthesis, evaluation and communication. A heavy emphasis is placed on environmental and social sustainability, design values and ethics.
This unit involves close critical reading of selected texts concerning design theory, and will cover conventions, methodologies and techniques for undertaking research appropriate to design disciplines. These are drawn from sources ranging from relevant long-standing theoretical traditions in the field, to contemporary theoretical thinking. Emphasis is placed on the relationships between the generation of design ideas and disciplinary and interdisciplinary theoretical positions. The unit will develop positions in relation to design-as-research, and integrated workplace learning. The unit consists of a series of workshops and seminars in which students will become familiar with developing a research proposal, structuring argument, writing for written and oral presentations, examining research methodologies applicable to design practice and the critical framing of responses to a range of positions within writing. The outcome will be the generation of an artefact and written exegesis.
This unit requires students to undertake research that relates to the design disciplines with a focus on the areas of research strength of the School of Architecture & Design (see above). The unit is generally informed by the Research Policy of the Australian Institute of Architects and its associated documents. This is a double weighted unit (25%) because it also offers elective possibilities, including projects with the School student office in association with the Launceston Assistance and Research Centre (LARC), Centre for Sustainable Architecture with Wood (CSAW), current research projects in the School undertaken by staff, and other high level modes of research which may or may not be practice led. Students will participate in research seminars, featuring leading designers and design researchers. Research seminars address issues in design research methods and issues, current debate on the state of design research and design-asresearch, applied design research in the context of practice, the use of traditional and electronic research resources, and innovative, design-based methods of project documentation. The aim of this unit is to develop sound design research skills in students to assist them to develop valid research projects, which have application in practice.

This unit encompasses activities administered by institutions of our community essential to the conduct of a professional architect. Architectural practice relates to the organisation, management and documentation of the process of building. The unit covers architectural practice, management studies and finance.
These units are based on research in the medium of design method in which students develop a well-articulated design ethos.
This is the final unit and culmination of the MArch program, requiring students to develop their selected design project from site analysis and initial concept, through preliminary design, design development and preliminary constructional design stages, to final presentation. The major architectural studio project in this unit will develop students' ability to program and manage a semester-long project, to present their work in a professional manner and to articulate clearly the rationale behind the sequence of decisions that have led to the final design proposal. The aim of the unit is for the student to demonstrate the skills, knowledge and understanding needed in the design of a major project and to demonstrate these at a level appropriate to a student at the end of five years of study in architecture as described by the Australian Institute of Architects Education Policy and the relevant Architects Accreditation Council of Australia (AACA) competencies. In addition, students will produce an Honours thesis on a specialised topic, continuing their work from the research tasks undertaken in KDA762 Advanced Design Research (Honours). In this unit students will work with their supervisors to produce a final thesis, 7,500 words or the equivalent in the form of drawings, text, a scientific report or built object with approval from the Honours coordinator. Research tasks are undertaken in conjunction with a series of seminars and symposia. In addition to the seminars dedicated to this unit, students are expected to attend the School's research seminars.

The following principles are fundamental to the process of accreditation and recognition: Architecture programs consist of a minimum equivalent of 5 years full time study in an accredited/recognised program. Architecture programs which lead to architectural qualifications require advice from the profession they serve. The accreditation and recognition process provides a regular and structured dialogue between educators and practitioners. A diverse approach to architectural education is valued. The accreditation and recognition process is designed to acknowledge individual strengths within schools and local variation in architecture programs. It is not a process designed to standardise architectural education. The National Visiting Panel process is assessment by peer review. Panels support the program and assist where necessary. Confidentiality of the procedure and all documentation is observed.
