COMMUNICATION OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Any changes or additions to this Course Outline will be discussed and agreed with the class, and conveyed through
Blackboard or via email to all students enrolled in the course. Changes to submission dates for items of
assessment cannot occur without permission from the Head of School.
PRESCRIPTION
Studio-based projects explore principles, media and techniques used in the representation of three-dimensional design concepts. Discipline specific modules introduce topics in architecture, building science, interior architecture and landscape architecture.
COURSE CONTENT
This is a studio-based course that continues the concepts of representation of two and three-dimensional design
introduced in SARC 161. The trimester long project, divided into three assignments, will explore the communication of
a design process through a range of scales to make evident different discipline’s modes of communication.
The project will develop skills in design communication as a way to express a design intent discovered through a
working process and allow a development of a critical relationship with the tools used to represent an idea – to know
the limits and benefits made apparent through different approaches to communicating an idea. The aim of the course
is to provide a level of disciplinary specialization through the communication of design ideas. This is achieved through
a single project that shifts through a number of different scales and modes of representation to aid in the development
of visual communication skills.
COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students who pass this course should be able to:
1. Generate and utilise various forms of graphic information for visual communication.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of two dimensional graphic information such as drawings, diagrams,
text, and annotations to effectively communicate design ideas and concepts.
3. Explore tools and methods used to produce various original graphic communication elements.
4. Compose graphic presentations that communicate design ideas, concepts, or intentions.

TEACHING FORMAT
This course will be taught through the following: Online learning content There are no lecture sessions for SARC162. Online learning content will replace lectures and will be made available online in designated folders in SARC162 Blackboard. It is each student’s responsibility to ensure that they engage with the relevant designated online learning material prior to each studio session. Student engagement with online learning content is monitored via Blackboard, and assessed via small online quizzes in each designated folder. Students who do not have the necessary online capability at their accommodation will need to plan to allow sufficient time to carry out this work on University computers. Studio sessions Studio sessions are designed to facilitate students to carry out the empirical investigation necessary to develop skills to effectively communicate design ideas. Each studio session will be preceded by designated online lecture content. It is important that this material be reviewed prior to the relevant studio sessions, as the exercises that will be carried out in studio will be based upon the online lecture content (students who fail to do so will quickly be left behind in each studio session). Studio Reviews Reviews provide an important venue for learning where students will be responsible for presenting and discussing their work with their peers and teaching staff.
MANDATORY COURSE REQUIREMENTS
MCRs are requirements, in addition to achieving a pass grade, that students must meet in order to pass a
course. There are no mandatory course requirements for this course. See the ‘Assessment’ section, below.
WORKLOAD
Attendance and participation are important aspects of the learning process, and you are expected to engage with all
of the online learning content, and attend all of the studio sessions and reviews.
If extraordinary circumstances arise that require you to be absent from some class sessions, you should discuss the
situation with the Course Coordinator as soon as possible.
You should expect to spend around 150 hours on this course, including scheduled class times, online learning content
engagement, and independent assignment work. Typically this involves around 10 hours per week during the 12
teaching weeks, with the balance during the mid-trimester break and study week
Please visit the link below for information on Studio Courses:
All work submitted for this course must be original and developed for this course only, unless prior approval is gained from the course coordinator to further develop existing work from previous or concurrent courses.
EXTENSIONS In the event of illness or other extraordinary circumstances that prevent you from submitting and/or presenting a piece
of work on time, or that you feel adversely affect the quality of the work you submit, it is important that you discuss
your circumstances with the Course Coordinator as soon as possible so that appropriate arrangements may be made.
You must also complete an Application for Extension form (available from the Faculty Office), and submit it to Asmaa
Bouhalba ([email protected]) before the hand-in date. You will also need to provide suitable evidence of
your illness or other circumstances.
In an emergency, or if you are unable to contact Asmaa Boulhalba or your Course Coordinator, you should advise the
Faculty Office of your situation.
PENALTIES
For work that arrives late without an approved extension, the following penalty will be applied: 5% immediately, then
5% for every subsequent 24 hours including weekends.
REQUIRED MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
Students will need to provide all materials and equipment as necessary for the completion of required work. Please
check the website link below for general requirements:
www.victoria.ac.nz/fad/faculty-administration/current-students/faqs#materialsandequipment This course is heavily based on digital software and it is highly recommended that all students arrive to every studio session with a laptop to get the most out of each session. SARC162 will utilise various software applications including AutoCad, Rhino, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. All of the software is available on the School of Architecture computers for those who do not have the software available on their own laptops.

CLASS REPRESENTATIVES The Faculty of Architecture and Design operates a system of Class Representatives in 100-level courses, and Year
Representatives in each of the professional disciplines. Student Representatives are elected during a class session in
the first week of teaching. All Student Representatives will be listed on the STUDiO notice board in the Atrium, and the
relevant Representatives are also listed on studio notice boards. Student Representatives have a role in liaising
between staff and students to represent the interests of students to the academic staff, and also in providing students
with a communication channel to STUDiO and the Student Representation organiser.
STUDENT FEEDBACK The Course Coordinator will discuss feedback from previous students at an appropriate time during the course. Student feedback on University courses may be found at www.cad.vuw.ac.nz/feedback/feedback_display.php.
