Project 2 : Service core design
The module emphasizes the role of building technology and sustainability in architectural design through an analysis and evaluation of a complex building or group of buildings. It addresses architecture as an integration of the environment, technology and building. These three factors are considered as holistic components of architectural design, which may be critically assessed with theories. Specific topics of environment and technology are isolated out for investigation. The module equips students with knowledge of building science and skills in the use of information and digital technology to inform design and to support the design resolution of students’ Architectural Design Thesis, particularly with respect to architectonic and technological aspects
