Description
This subject will focus on the business and ethics of architecture through the application of creative and speculative design methods to develop an emergent and value-driven model of architecture practice that challenges the status quo. The model will be informed by the synthesis of the development of a set of ethical values, an architect’s role as public advocate, an understanding of the Architects Act and critical analysis and research of practice precedents in the context of contemporary challenges and opportunities of technological disruption, the climate emergency and biodiversity breakdown, population displacement and inequality. Investigations will focus on specific areas of risk, procurement, organisational systems, marketing, staff resourcing and management, finance, health and safety, copyright and quality assurance. Values explored in the Architectural Design and Urban Thesis subject will provide a further line of inquiry and focus.
