4.2 Specific Course Outcomes
This studio topic will engage with the general course outcomes in the following ways:
• Theory: Demonstrate a critical understanding of Tezuka Architects’ design approach and their “invisible architecture” and “your own sky” ideas.
• Architectonics: Show an ability to develop conceptual ideas developed in the earlier part of the project into material form.
• Performance: Demonstrate an ability to develop and refine an architectural program centred on the conceptual and material studies produced in the preliminary stages of the project.
• Form and space: Demonstrate advanced abilities to develop architectural form and space which marries conceptual and programmatic clarity.
• Media: Show an ability to communicate Tezuka-style design and presentation methods, particularly installations, simple perspective sketches, and paper models.

6.3 Assessment Criteria for ARCHDES701
In addition to the criteria set out in the School handbook, assessment will be based on the
following:
• Theory: Quality, depth and consistency of conceptual and critical thought throughout the design process.
• Architectonics: Quality of design development and level of skill demonstrated through creative engagement with issues of materiality, structure and construction.
• Performance: Quality and extent of design development through the creative engagement with relevant contextual, environmental and programmatic factors underlying the project.
• Form and Space: Quality of engagement with and development of three dimensional architectural form and space, both exterior and interior.
• Media: Quality of presentation, clarity of communication, appropriateness of media strategy and level of skill displayed through the work presented at all stages of the design process.
• Quality of engagement in studio – singularly, in group discussions and in formal crits.
Attendance in studio and for the duration of crit days is mandatory – students are expected to support and learn from their colleagues.
