Associate Lecturer (and Tutor): Liz Watt
Subject Co-ordinator: Liz Watt, Dr. Cameron Bruhn
ARCHITECTURE AND COMMERCE investigates emerging and future commercial and workplace models, building typologies and construction technologies that will address three key questions through research and design:
- Site + Public Realm – How can the relationship to the broader city, the ground plane and the public realm be enhanced through strategic and innovative approaches to design?
- Building Type + Form – How can conventional high-rise commercial workplace typologies and forms be transformed and re-imagined as a driver for new ways of living and working in cities
- Workplace + Occupation – What are alternative and future commercial and workplace models and how can they impact the way we work and live?
The project aims to provoke innovative architectural ideas that may effectively challenge industry norms and assumptions as well as urban planning frameworks. Informed by their own research and investigations into context and typology, students will develop an architectural proposal that aims to make a positive contribution to the scale of the city, the street and user occupation.
Students will have the opportunity to interact with architectural and urban planning professionals with specific expertise, as a means to develop their ideas for a commercially rigorous yet innovative working model, backed by a strong rationale and brand identity. Students have two assessments:
- Research and Proposition (weeks 1-5, 40%)
- Schematic/ Detailed Design (weeks 6-13, 60%)
