DT105 BSc (Honours) Architectural Technology is a new four-year full-time Level 8 honours degree programme which replaces DT105, a three-year Level 7 ordinary degree programme in architectural technology. It is one of a suite of new programmes which has been developed by the Dublin School of Architecture Department of Architectural Technology to address the educational needs of the professional Architectural Technologist.
What is an Architectural Technologist?
The professional Architectural Technologist is a technical designer and expert in the application and integration of construction technologies in the building design process.
Contents
The DT105 BSc (Honours) Architectural Technology is a studio based programme. Technical Design Studio provides a structured setting in which the student is exposed to a variety of teaching and learning experiences. Project work is undertaken against the background of lectures, critiques, one to one tutorials, seminars, group work and construction skills classes.
Technical Design Studio provides a focus for the development of skills in three-dimensional problem solving. These skills include freehand drawing, hard line mechanical drawing and model making. Studio project work also allows the development of skills in Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to produce both 2D technical drawings and 3D virtual models. The presentation of studio projects in crits encourages the development of the student´s verbal communication skills.
The studio format offers flexibility for students to attend project related site visits and field trips away from the college environment, thereby widening their understanding of the context of their project work. These experiences are supplemented by industry and professional presentations, specialist structural engineering and mechanical & electrical engineering design workshops, and visits to building exhibitions.
In studio, students have unrestricted access to a dedicated workspace and work alongside one another for long periods of time, both during timetabled contact hours and beyond. Studios are equipped with both manual drawing facilities and PCs, allowing students to carry out their project work using a variety of media and approaches.
The BSc (Honours) Architectural Technology programme allows a Level 7 exit award at the end of year three, facilitating access to the workforce, or educational progression to a Level 8 degree in architecture.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
