History

A shout out to all last year's students that did not see out the History lectures.
They are currently running in Building 94 Level 1 6:00pm on Tuesday Nights. If you missed last year's through indifference, here is a chance to catch them now.
They are insightful, thought provoking and a welcome reminder how important it is for design to understand its past.

Comm Design Review Week 1

Week 1

Is all about forming groups and getting the logistics sorted as to:

• who is doing what?
• where that information is stored,
• and how it is shared.
• Pre-Design Research
• Physical
• Materials
• Building Types
• Building Forms
• Topology
• Planning
• Regulatory Constraints 
• Planning Overlays
• History Recent and Past
• BAL
• BCA: Basic Classification check and routine planning considerations for a public building
• Australian Standards relating to:
• Extension and geometry of the off-street carparking
• Disabled Access Code
• Design
• Kinder and Child Care Regs
• Men's Shed Movement

Probably best if the information is tabulated or in a spreadsheet, and I recommend the google apps suite, as it is collaborative and easy to distribute.

Have the data ready week 1 so the designing/ brainstorming can be good to go start of week 2.

I don't see any value in a group presentation of the pre-design data, but I do want to review the groups individually to see what has been collated. So have it stored/ formatted in a meaningful manner.
