Student Activity (Notional Equivalent Study Hours (NESH)) |
Mode of activity | Learning & Teaching Activity | NESH (Study Hours) | NESH Description |
Face To Face | Lecture | 10 | Students will participate in a series of lectures designed to provide essential knowledge and insights that directly support their design projects. These lectures will cover a range of topics, including but not limited to: design strategies for non-domestic buildings, building standards and principles for non-domestic design, occupant needs and considerations, modern methods of construction (MMC), logistics, and more |
Face To Face | Practical classes and workshops | 28 | Students will engage in five dedicated design studio sessions focused on advancing their design projects and receiving in-depth feedback from lecturers. Each session will be structured as an extended/ full-day workshop, providing ample time for hands-on practice and meaningful interaction. During these workshops, students will refine their design concepts, with an emphasis on sustainability and technology, while benefiting from detailed guidance and constructive feedback from the lecturer. |
Online | Guided independent study | 40 | Students are expected to independently review the lectures and theoretical concepts covered in this module, either individually or collaboratively in groups. This process is essential for enabling students to apply the learned theories effectively to their design projects, bridging the gap between conceptual understanding and practical application. |
Online | Guided independent study | 122 | Guided independent study - Design practice
Students are expected to dedicate significant time to work on their design projects independently. This involves exploring various possibilities and design scenarios to develop a well-considered and comprehensive version of their work. The most complete iteration should be brought to the design studio sessions for discussion and feedback from the lecturer |

Type of Assessment | Weighting % | LOs covered | Week due | Length in Hours/Words | Description |
Oral Presentation | 20 | 1~2~3 | Week 3 | HOURS= 20-30 mins/team | Students - in small groups - will analyse the architectural designs of two non-domestic case studies relevant to their projects. This analysis will provide them with insights into foundational design principles and key considerations for their own building designs. Assessed as a group. |
Portfolio | 80 | 1~2~3~4~5~6 | Week 13 | , WORDS= 2 - 4 A1 sheets | Students will create a comprehensive portfolio showcasing their architectural design concepts, with an emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency considerations integrated into their projects. Assessed individually. |
