Overview
This unit provides introductory skills of analogue and digital drawing standards for architecture, interiors, and landscapes. Applying conventions including dimensioning, annotation, cross-referencing and scale, students will learn requirements for accurate architectural documentation. Through exploration of orthographic projections students will gain an understanding of drawing conventions for particular audiences and purposes.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Apply drafting conventions to communicate various building materials and structures to a project team at an introductory level
- Examine basic building structures and apply them to a design scenario at an introductory level
- Produce a considered response to a client's brief that addresses site requirements at an introductory level
Content
Topics covered in this unit include:
- Fundamental drafting conventions to document projects for construction
- Introduction to orthographic projections and their role in construction documentation
- Introduction to computer aided design and documentation software
- Introduction to basic building structure
Learning Approaches
This unit takes a blended approach to learning and teaching which includes weekly self-directed eContent that is supported by your active participation in timetabled classes which will include classroom-based and studio-based activities. eContent will be provided on the unit Canvas site for you to engage with before your classes. It could include videos, readings, self-reflection and/or peer activities designed to enhance your learning experience. During the timetabled activities, you will explore critical knowledge and engage in practical activities, such as hands-on exercises, that facilitate the integration of theory and practice. After your weekly classes, you are expected to continue engaging with unit resources to ensure you consolidate your understanding of key concepts and their application in practice.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will receive feedback in various forms throughout the semester which may include:
- Informal: worked examples, such as verbal feedback in class, personal consultation
- Formal: in writing, such as checklists, rubrics, written commentary
- Direct: to individual students, either in written form or in consultation
- Indirect: to the whole class
Assessment
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Workbook
A demonstration of practical skills and knowledge in drafting conventions, occurring on a regular basis as a series of practical tasks.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Construction documentation
You will produce a set of construction documents that address the requirements of a small construction scenario. You will demonstrate your foundational understanding of building structure to meet a client's brief.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a commitment to undertaking academic work and assessment in a manner that is ethical, fair, honest, respectful and accountable.
The Academic Integrity Policy sets out the range of conduct that can be a failure to maintain the standards of academic integrity. This includes, cheating in exams, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. It also includes providing fraudulent or altered documentation in support of an academic concession application, for example an assignment extension or a deferred exam.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Breaching QUT’s Academic Integrity Policy or engaging in conduct that may defeat or compromise the purpose of assessment can lead to a finding of student misconduct (Code of Conduct – Student) and result in the imposition of penalties under the Management of Student Misconduct Policy, ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
Requirements to Study
Costs
A range of drawing materials and equipment is required to undertake learning experiences in this unit. The one-off cost is approximately $250. The materials purchased for this unit will also be used in other Design units in the Diploma and further into your architecture, interior design or landscape architecture course.
Resources
Visualisation resources, such as sketching examples, demonstration videos, and exercise guidelines will be made available via the unit Canvas site. There are no set textbooks for this unit. A list of recommended and required readings will be advised in class at the beginning of the semester and available on the Canvas unit site.
Risk Assessment Statement
Where participation in studio activities is required the following inductions/ certificates are required (if not previously completed):
- General Safety Induction (completed online): For risks associated with using campus buildings or facilities, refer to the Mandatory Safety Induction. This must be completed online.
- FoE General Health and Safety Induction course, which provides an overview of the facilities and general safety procedures for using the Gardens Point facilities which include J block Workshop facilities.
There are no extraordinary workplace health and safety issues associated with classroom-based learning activities. Where substantial computer-based work is required, you are recommended to take regular rest breaks when engaging in prolonged computer-based work and ensure that your workstation is set up for optimal comfort to prevent strain or injury.
Course Learning Outcomes
This unit is designed to support your development of the following course/study area learning outcomes.AB02 Diploma in Architectural Studies
