Bachelor in Architecture B(Arch)
Technology & Professional Studies
There are four parts to the Technology unit in the B(Arch). These are classified Part A, Parts B&C and Part D. Part A was a website based study of a building and the technology used in its construction. Parts B&C was a A3 report on my Dublin project. Part D was an A3 technical section for the Dublin project.
Part A
Part A Website is a study of the Manchester City Art Gallery by Michael Hopkins Associates. This section was completed in groups. I was responsible for the website and my friend Liz was responsible for the 3D modelling and constructional section.
Parts B&C
This project was split into 7 sections. Introduction, Contextural Analysis, Project Strategies, Project Tactics (Structural), Project Tactics (Services), Conclusions and Discussion, Bibliography. This technology project has approximately been the same for the whole six years I was studying at Manchester. After this time I have concluded that it is greatly weighted towards one college's method of study and thus rather annoying due to its reduced relevance to my studies.
Part D
Part D is an extension of the previous section and attempts to create a 3D section similar, in detail, to the Part A project.
