| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| # |
Learning Outcome Description |
| LO1 |
Integrate comprehension of current societal concerns and environmental context and their changing nature into architectural technology and technical design practice. |
| LO2 |
Produce technical drawings, details and written technical documentation as part of an integrated
technical design response for a complex building structure. |
| LO3 |
Integrate relevant regulations, legislation and design standards into technical design. |
| LO4 |
Understand the implications the structural system of the building has on the selection of the building envelope materials and systems |
| LO5 |
Analyse & propose technical design strategies for the building fabric envelope taking into account the complex nature of the hybrid structure of the building. |

Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).

| Indicative Content |
|
Methodology
Investigation, exploration and integration of precedent; the experience of architecture; societal conditions and concerns; technical design challenges; teamwork; architectural design concept reinforcement through detail; and architectural tectonic expression.
|
|
Technical Design
Ability to compile and carry out technical drawings and documentation to show compliance with building regulations and building control, Fire Cert Application and Disability Access Cert application. Explore material selection, specification and installation appropriate for the building envelope of a complex commercial buildings. Demonstrate an understanding of the regulations and design parameters involved in the design layout of an underground basement carpark and site plan. Introduction to Passive House standards and principles.
|
|
Principles
Structural Systems. Understand the complexity of hybrid structural systems has on the implications of the design of the building.
Explore the parameters of various types of structural systems for basement construction, service shafts, walls, floors and roofs both load bearing and non load bearing from heavyweight to light weight frame systems, solid construction systems, masonry, site cast and pre cast systems through detailing.
