Students will also be encouraged to develop their powers of observation; something that began in the first year TS. Materials can appear in many different guises and perform many different functions – from simple cladding to load bearing elements. The detailing and fabrication can be greatly affected by this.
Students will prepare critiques of selected building studies/material uses which we will use to compile a materials handbook. The students will also work at one to one scale with a material in order to explore its limits and characteristics with a final presentation/testing at the end of Term 2.
