Description
The Masters Special Project series engages Industry Professionals/Advocates/Affiliates in discourse across the topics of Decarbonisation, Decolonisation + Urban Equity, relative to the Practice of Architecture. Drawing on varied methods, which can include speculative design / technological prototyping / theory / writing / exhibition + encounters, students collaborate and formalise their own positions in response to the specific briefs set by the curated Elective Leads. The Masters Special Project electives are announced in the Master of Architecture Prospectus prior to the commencement of each session and introduced at the Ballot Day, when self-enrolment opens.
This subject aims to develop skills in the combination of computational design and robotic fabrication processes. These skills are developed via the design, documentation and construction of prototypes and demonstration assemblies at a scale of 1:1. The subject is largely subservient to the Masters Studio “11551-11554 SuperNatural: Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication for Decarbonisation”, and the designs that are developed and physically prototyped in this elective have begun life in that studio. Students who are not taking that specific Masters studio are encouraged to enroll in this elective and join groups that contain studio participants.
