The Final Year Design Research Project (FYDRP) enables integrated application of theory, knowledge and skills gained so far. It is a year-long 'capstone' project, comprising Parts 1 and 2, completed in Semesters 4A and 4B respectively. The project will incorporate substantial elements of both research and design, developed around a topic of personal interest and in consultation with their dedicated project supervisor. Students will also be supported by a team of supervisors. They will also be expected to work independently, and to demonstrate that they have initiative, project management skills, intellectual maturity as well as a deep understanding of their chosen topic and design. This course builds on the outputs from its Prerequisite CA4529 to produce an architectural proposition which is supported by substantial research or reflective activity.
