On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Critically assess interactions between buildings and their surroundings and evaluate the impact of alternative design approaches on environmental sustainability;
2. Critically analyse, model and simulate integrated building designs in the area of building envelop, thermal comfort, daylighting, and façade design and formulate deep insights into a wide range of technological approach to retrofit buildings;
3. Produce site analysis, conceptual design, final architectural drawings and construction detail;
4. Conduct, interpret and apply Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment and integrate bushfire protection requirements into building design and construction; and
5. Communicates final designs to a wide audiences (skilled professionals, government officials, architects, builders and engineers) through effective technical skills, high level graphical illustration skills, and oral communication.
