The tectonic group of undergraduate subjects • BSc Architectural Design and Technology • BSc Architectural Engineering • BSc Architecture • BSc Interior Architecture
Common ground(ing) • Alongside design, all the tectonic courses have a core of construction, management, structure and environment • BSc Architecture covers all • BSc Architectural Engineering has specialist focus on building engineering – mainly structure and also environment • BSc Architectural Design & Technology has specialist focus on construction, management and communication (BIM) • BSc Interior Architecture covers all but focus is on the interior of mainly built, but also designed buildings
What attributes do you need to study for a degree in these subjects? • Imagination and talent • An interest in cities and places and the people who occupy them (social engagement) • A love of buildings ( n ) and building ( v ) • Common sense - an interest in technical and management matters • Numeracy (particularly for Architectural Engineering) • An ability to communicate – writing, drawing, IT • ….but most of all, enthusiasm!

What sets Interior Architecture apart from Interior Design? • A core of firmess subjects shared with the other ‘tectonic group’ degrees: construction, structures, services, environment • Graduates are equipped with applied skills in these areas • A common courses in the history and theory of design • A common course in management practice and law • A focus on the creative reuse of existing buildings • Employability and ICZ focus
What sets Architectural Engineering apart from Architecture? • A core of firmess subjects shared with the other ‘tectonic group’ degrees, but with more focus on structural engineering design – the physics of buildings …..........or why you don ’ t fall through the floor! • A common design studio • A common courses in the history and theory of design • A common course in management practice and law • Specialist modules on structural design (delivered by the department of engineering) – Employability and ICZ focus
Architectural Design and Technology • Architectural Technologists have a slightly different education…….. • ……..and career path • With its own professional institution the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists • …….with their own criteria
Architectural Design and Technology Criteria 1. an awareness of the context, and the political, economic, environmental, social and technological aspects that inform and influence the practice of Architectural Technology nationally and internationally Design 2. an ability to problem solve to realise the design into built form through the generation of detailed design solutions that respond to familiar and unfamiliar situations 3. an ability to successfully complete a sustainable and inclusive design project, systematic review or systematiccase study, informed by current understandings in the discipline 4. an awareness of building elements, components, systems, and methods used for different building typologies
Architectural Design and Technology Criteria Technology 5. an awareness of current topics and practices which inform the discipline of Architectural Technology including new and emerging technologies 6. an awareness of project and design management, project procurement and process, construction and contract management Management 7. an ability to identify hazards and risks and develop and maintain safe systems of work and legal and relevant legislation and regulatory frameworks Practice 8. an ability to work independently and as a member of a team identifying personal development needs and to plan to meet these needs through relevant and appropriate methods
Architecture, Interior Arch and Arch Eng Criteria • GC1 Ability to create architectural designs that satisfy both aesthetic and technical requirements with a particular focus on interiors and the re-use of buildings • GC2 Adequate knowledge of the histories and theories of architecture and the related arts, technologies and human sciences. • GC3 Knowledge of the fine arts as an influence on the quality of architectural and interior design. • GC4 Adequate knowledge of urban design, planning and the skills involved in the planning process. • GC5 Understanding of the relationship between people and buildings, and between buildings and their environment, and the need to relate buildings and the spaces between them to human needs and scale.
Architecture, Interior Arch and Arch Eng Criteria • GC6 Understanding of the profession and the role of the architect designer and engineer in society, in particular in preparing briefs that take account of social factors. • GC7 Understanding of the methods of investigation and preparation of the brief for a design project. • GC8 Understanding of the structural design, constructional and engineering problems associated with building and interior design. • GC9 Adequate knowledge of physical problems and technologies and the function of buildings so as to provide them with internal conditions of comfort and protection against the climate. • GC10 The necessary architectural and interior design skills to meet building users’ requirements within the constraints imposed by cost factors and building regulations. • GC11 Adequate knowledge of the industries, organisations, regulations and procedures involved in translating design concepts into buildings, interiors, and integrating plans into overall planning.
