Abstract

This portfolio examines a third-year architectural design studio that emphasizes the development of designs that consider site and context. As part of a four-year sequence to gaining a Bachelor of Science in Design, this studio takes on a critical discourse of the impact designs may have on the environments they inhabit, the community of people that they interact with, and the cultures and practices followed within a region. This research examined how different modes of teaching could help with building narratives and identifying the measurable impact a design would have on its environment, community, and culture through repetition of verbal and visual communication and self-assessment of a finalized design. The results show that the use of post-presentation self-assessments can effectively impact the quality of learning and provide a critical step for students to develop their verbal and visual presentation skills to communicate their work effectively.
