Overview
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Apply, at an introductory level, theoretical, analytical, and technical processes to communicate a body of design work across a range of techniques; analogue and digital.
- Observe, experiment with, and critically analyse the processes of production by using a range of skills, graphics, and 3-dimensions
- Demonstrate design options through conceptual model making
- Explore the role of visual communication in the expression of design ideas and processes
Content
- Design principles
- Orthogonal drawings
- Experimentation in design
- Modelling making techniques: analogue and digital
- Analytical diagramming.
- Design iteration processes
- Generative techniques
- Introduction to parametric procedures
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. 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 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: ongoing feedback from fabrication workshop/studio staff and peers
- Formal: in writing through rubrics and written commentary
- Direct: to individual students, either in written form or in consultation
- Indirect: to the whole class posted on the ABD103 Canvas website
Assessment
Overview
This unit includes two assessments designed to enable you to first undertake analogue techniques to enable you to undertake ways of representing process through physical model making techniques and using a range of common materials. You will then explore digital techniques of communicating process using digital 3D modelling and fabrication using a range of materials to communicate ideas, form, site, topography, plants.

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Project 1
This assessment will involve individual work curated as a series of weekly or fortnightly tasks to explore analogue techniques, all collated into a single submission. The techniques may include sketching techniques, drawing to scale diagramming techniques, rendering and orthogonal drawings including plans, sections and elevations.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Project 2
This assessment will involve individual work organised as a series of weekly/fortnightly tasks to explore digital techniques of production, all collated in a single submission at the end of the semester. The techniques will include 3D modelling in CAD (Revit/Rhino/AutoCAD), diagramming in adobe programs (Illustrator, Photoshop), physical model making using a range of materials, fabrication techniques and introduction to parametric procedure and a range of other techniques to depict ideas, form, structure, site, plants, and people.
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 across the Diploma and further into your architecture, interior design or landscape architecture course.
Resources
Required and recommended readings and resources will be identified on Canvas prior to and during the semester.
Risk Assessment Statement
Participation in Fabrication Workshop activities (where appropriate) requires the following inductions/ certificates (if not previously completed) :
- General Safety Induction: This is completed online. Enrol via Laboratory and Workshop HSE Induction (Canvas)
- Fabrication Workshop induction: Enrol via Fabrication Workshop (J Block) induction (Canvas)
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.
