Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching MethodsThis module is taught through a series of practical laboratories, lectures, seminars and tutorials.Examples of housing construction forms using digital medial from various sources (photography, video, animation) will be critically evaluated in order to inform students. The use of real site photographic digital images and case study material will enhance the learning experience (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4,LO6).Students will be given an outline of the key factors in acoustic with regards to sound transmission using a narrative example. This will also be explained using basic mathematical models to allow for a greater understanding of the subject and to allow for an appreciation of suitability of building materials (LO2, LO5, LO6).Examples of good building design and lay out will be appraised to give an understanding of the core issues associated with acoustics and buildings (LO2)Practical assessments of reverberation within a space will be undertaken to provide an understanding of the importance of finishes and volume on design (LO5).Skills and design techniques will be taught through practical demonstration and tutorials. These lectures will be provided via a Virtual Learning Environment system to all students but also to allow for access by distance learning studentsEmbedding of Employability/PDP/Scholarship SkillsEmployability, PDP and Scholarship skills are directly embedded in the module. The ability to design and understand working details are core skills of the Architectural Technologist, Technical Director or Building Inspector. Employability is enhanced by the provision of real site performance data and the ability to develop critical appraisal and problem solving techniques.
