THE TEACHING FOCUSES for the BSc(Hons) Architecture and Environmental Design are: Year 1 – Sensing the Environment, Year 2 – Transformation and Application and Year 3 – Stepping Out and Making. In the first year, students acquired the basic architectural design, observation and drawing skills by engaging in design projects and conducting study trips. An Evidence
Informed Design Approach was introduced to students through lectures, hands-on workshops, group seminars and individual study sessions. Spatial poetics and environmental delight were explored and tested by using hand drawn sketches, photographs and relevant design tools like Sun Rose and Heliodon.
