It also covers sustainability issues affecting the condition of existing buildings, and their maintenance and adaptation.

The module aims to introduce you to the skills, processes and practices involved in a spatial design project. It engages you in a range of processes by means of which you can understand, think about and engage with the academic and practical design discipline of architectural design. The module enables you to develop an understanding of space and materials.

This module provides an understanding of the climate and environment as an integral part of the design process. It seeks to help you develop an understanding of the role that environmental design plays in facilitating occupants' satisfaction and comfort in the indoor environment. The module aims to create an awareness of the issues influencing the environmental and technical considerations of building design.

The module aims to prepare you for the task of visualising and communicating their work at all stages of its development and setting their work in relation to the final design project Design Investigation, Design Resolution and Design Integration and the technical demands of the design proposal. In this regard, drawing ability is a necessary skill for observation, recording, analysis, visualisation, evaluation and communication of different technical aspects of the design project.
