In Make & Build, students worked as a group, taking a previously established design proposal, and developed its construction detail through element fabrication and on to final assembly.
The module's outcome is the group's completion of a full-size freestanding architectural structure, the construction and completion of which is the subject of a group assessment for the module. The size for this structure will be the order of a single storey in height. It is for a shelter that can act as a pavilion - providing flexible space for assembly and exhibition. The project encourages creative problem solving and reconsideration of the nature of architectural structures. It promotes experimentation with materials and fabrication techniques.
