The Continuing Practice Development stream considers the practical, technological, legal and practice related aspects of the professions in the built environment to establish an ecosystemic understanding of the scientific, natural, and cultural settings within which designers work, together with the impacts of construction (building science) on individuals and society. During the first quarter, advanced construction, technology and structural systems are considered from a philosophical perspective, to embed environmental stewardship in the mind of the designer. In the second quarter, the module explores the application of a variety of building technologies and their implementation. The objective is to develop cognisance of the origin, application, and long-term performance of specific building technologies. During Quarter 3, a series of CPD electives focus on multiple specialised themes such as generative design and/or computational design, BIM workflow management, and GIS for environmental or architectural design application. Students will choose to complete one elective in Quarter 3. In the final quarter the module aims to enable the student to technically develop and assess the performance of a design considering critical technical and sustainable design considerations such as thermal comfort, water consumption, daylighting, carbon footprint and energy consumption. This is done through continued development and assessment of the performance of the design in terms of above-mentioned criteria.
