Diploma in Architecture Leading to Master of Architecture: 2 YEARS 学位 ip.Arch (RIBA PART II) 和 M.ARCH (续写论文) 学生以英国人为主,他们很多都是读完B.A加一年工作实习在回来的.留学生很少,约10%. 1.Lecture:学的和M.ARCH STUDIES差不多,也要写论文.多了建筑管理和一些设计理论 2.STUDIO: 主要是做设计,今年有五STUDIO,没个有2-3个老师带.每组成15人做有.两年DIPLOMA的学生一起上. 毕业设计在STUDIO下进行 (以后有更多STUDIO的介绍) 3.毕业论文:自己定题目,学校分老师. 我的论文老师是DEAN, BRYAN LAWSON (以后再介绍) Introduction The Diploma in Architecture has recently been restructured to make it more definitively post-graduate and vocational in its orientation, and also to specifically differentiate it from the undergraduate learning experience. The course acknowledges that architectural practice is a diverse field and prepares for this diversity through a combination of transferable analytic skills in research and synthetic design skills. Students are encouraged to develop a specialist interest in their final year. The course is based around a number (presently six) of studios, which have both fifth and sixth year students. These studios investigate architectural themes in depth; the themes develop out of the studio leaders' own research interests. The aim is to consider design within the context of rigorous and innovative research. This implies that the product of the studio courses will extend beyond the comprehensive design of a building and into other areas such as consultation, historical analysis, technical innovation or cultural investigation. Course Structure The Diploma course is focused on the studio. This is supported by a range of other courses. In the fifth year, students take a research methods course that introduces research techniques in preparation for a major dissertation. The dissertation is carried out over fifth year and the early part of sixth year, and is normally a 15,000 word essay on a subject of the student's choice. In addition fifth year students attend the Forum series, in which invited international speakers address a common theme. Finally, fifth year students take a management course run by professor John Worthington, which looks at innovative ways of approaching practice, briefing and business organizations. In the sixth year, students complete their dissertation, but the main focus is on the major design project. This is supported by an extensive design report that sets out the research basis for the project and the theoretical agenda being pursued. Technology is delivered through a series of master classes in which experts address specific issues. Students then choose a specialist area of architectural technology to support their main design project. Management studies are also related to the main design project; the expectation is for a critical awareness of the issues at stake rather than exact compliance. There is also a Architecture and Town Planning route open to certain students who have graduated from Sheffield. MArch Students who have reached the required level in the dissertation and passed the Diploma can proceed to the March (Master in Architecture). This entails payment of a small fee and the submission of an extended dissertation in the spring following completion of the Diploma
