YEARBOOK 2016 - 2017 | XJTLU DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
The fourth edition of the yearbook of the Department of Architecture at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University presents student works created during the academic year 2016 - 2017. The yearbook exemplifies the new model for Chinese architectural education for which the department was commended by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). It is thus also a showcase of the creative culture that has guided our students in taking first steps to successful international careers as responsible and creative architectural designers. XJTLU offers RIBA Part 1, 2 and 3.

In this studio module, students learn to generate a small-scale design<br />
proposal based on an initial brief. The studio specifically addresses<br />
design skills suitable for engineering students, who learn about the<br />
integration of technical and architectural design requirements. Students<br />
are initially introduced to typical materials employed in architectural<br />
structures, including concrete, steel, masonry, timber and glass.<br />
Based on this knowledge, students learn to design with materials and<br />
structures in the spirit of an architectural design concept in a series of<br />
weekly design exercises. Following this stage, students are introduced<br />
to architectural site analysis. Considering the results of the site analysis,<br />
students develop a technically focused design proposal for a given brief<br />
and a given architectural design concept, in informal collaboration with<br />
architecture students of the same year (volunteering ARC102 students).<br />
Students’ final proposals should clearly show a process of design<br />
development from an initial concept to a final architectural design<br />
proposal. The final proposal should demonstrate students’ ability to<br />
design a series of spaces using appropriate technical means to support<br />
architectural concepts and the realization of architectural qualities.<br />
Design proposals should respond creatively to the site context as well<br />
as to spatial, structural and technical requirements required by the<br />
architectural design brief.<br />
Project work is developed through group and individual tutorials and<br />
presented for public discussion in interim and final reviews. A series<br />
of lectures and additional tutorials will be provided by structure,<br />
environmental and/or construction experts. External guests are invited<br />
to participate in project reviews. Following the final review, work<br />
presented in interim and final reviews will be compiled and submitted<br />
in form of a final concluding report. Only the final report is assessed.<br />
