Course Aims

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. This is to supplement the Final Year Project for Architectural Stream students. Students will develop the Final Year Design Research Project informed by the inquiry results of Final Year Project.

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 'Architectural Design 6: Final Year Design and Research Project Part 1' will provide foundational training in methods and techniques for design research, and support for developing an appropriate project scope and structure, as well as in executing a stage of the architectural proposition itself.
