In this foundational year you will be introduced to the design studio, where you will learn from one another and develop an architectural sense of knowing and designing. You will work in groups, undertake basic research, take risks and adopt reflective learning as part of a collaborative studio culture, developing ethical awareness of your actions. A study visit provides opportunities to engage with real-world places, buildings, environments and communities incorporating context across all subject threads.
