COURSE DESCRIPTION
The architects of the future will embody solutions-driven thinking through the implementation of innovative design and new technologies to make an impact on the major issues of our time – climate change, population growth, and rapid urbanisation.
The Bachelor of Design in Architecture provides the foundation for a career in broad fields of design and creative practice, with a specialisation in the discipline of architecture.
The Bachelor of Design in Architecture provides a broad design education in a creative studio-based environment focusing heavily upon learning to design through hands-on making and the use of state-of-the-art digital tools. Learning in a design studio comprises the majority of coursework and is project-based. This features projects focused upon real-world scenarios, collaborating with students and external guests from interdisciplinary fields of expertise to develop solutions for a range of stakeholders and end-users. In addition to practical skills and disciplinary knowledge learned through studio and seminar-based studies in design, communications, technology, history, theory, and professional studies, students acquire ‘soft skills’ in collaboration, teamwork, time management, interpersonal communication, self-critique, and overall, spatial intelligence which is unique to an architectural education.
The Bachelor of Design in Architecture is a standard degree pathway leading toward a Master of Architecture, which is the terminal award allowing graduates to gain registration as an Architect in Australia and other jurisdictions that recognise the award. Graduates of the Bachelor of Design in Architecture program may progress to the Master of Architecture upon application and review of undergraduate performance. However, entry to the Master of Architecture is not automatic.
What can you do with your degree?
The architects of the future will be responsible for more than just creating buildings. Through innovative design, new technologies and solutions-driven thinking, they will have an impact on the major issues of our time – climate change, population growth, rapid urbanisation?… just to name a few!?
The vision of the architect is responsible for the creation of the smallest of dwellings through to complex megacities. As such, architecture requires comprehensive skills relating to design, planning, construction, technology, and communication. The architectural process can vary in complexity and scale, enabling architects to undertake a variety of projects from exhibitions, interior refurbishments, and residential dwellings through to public buildings, large scale infrastructure and urban design.?
Many architectural graduates establish careers in:
Design studios?
Virtual environment design (such as gaming, cinema, and animation)?
Web and graphic design?
Fashion?
Advertising?
Industrial design?
Arts management, and
Visual arts
