For the purposes of considering request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Cwth 2005), and Student Support and Engagement Policy, academic requirements for this subject are articulated in the Subject Overview, Learning Outcomes, Assessment and Generic Skills sections of this entry.

It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study, and reasonable adjustments will be made to enhance a student's participation in the University's programs.

This subject is phasing out and only available to Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning students who are enrolled in a course for which there is no longer an intake. Students who have enrolled in a graduate program within the Melbourne School of Design or the Bachelor of Environments after 2007 should refer to course handbook entries for details regarding subjects available within their courses.

Students will undertake a series of studio-based exercises in design demanding greater synthesis of diverse requirements and leading to increasingly resolved designs. Emphases include: three-dimensional spatial ordering, the development of an architectural language that can be responsive to different conditions, representation and composition and an examination of interior architectural form and landscape.

On completion of the subject students should be able to:

• demonstrate an ability to work within statutory and programmatic requirements and to incorporate environmental principles;
• understand the techniques for analysing built context and use this analysis to inform the design process;
• utilise analytical and synthesizing skills (including appropriate documentation, graphic and model-making skills);
• demonstrate skills commensurate with the skills required by the architectural profession of an architectural technical assistant.

Assessment will be based on two major projects and a review of a portfolio of all assignments set during the semester. Projects, class tests, studio tests, exercises, and tutorial presentations to the equivalent of 10,000 words.

This subject is not available as a breadth subject.

On completion of the subject students should have developed the following skills and capabilities:

• ability to conceptualise in three dimensions;
• application of design skills to complex programs.

Formerly available as 702-303 Architectural Design and Practice 3. Students who have completed 702-303 are not eligible to enrol in this subject.
