GA1 The Graduate Attributes for Part 1
With regard to meeting the eleven General Criteria at Parts 1 and 2, the Part 1 will be awarded to students who
have:
1 ability to generate design proposals using understanding of a body of knowledge, some at the current
boundaries of professional practice and the academic discipline of architecture;
.2 ability to apply a range of communication methods and media to present design proposals clearly and
effectively;
3 understanding of the alternative materials, processes and techniques that apply to architectural design and
building construction;
4 ability to evaluate evidence, arguments and assumptions in order to make and present sound judgments
within a structured discourse relating to architectural culture, theory and design;
5 knowledge of the context of the architect and the construction industry, and the professional qualities needed
for decision making in complex and unpredictable circumstances; and
6 ability to identify individual learning needs and understand the personal responsibility required for further
professional education.
The General Criteria
To interpret the document for Part 1 courses and assessments, the General Criteria at Parts 1 and 2 as a whole,
including the numbered subsections, should be read along with the Graduate Attributes for Part 1. Similarly, for
Part 2, the General Criteria including subsections should be read along with the Graduate Attributes for Part 2. No
weightings are given to the areas within the General Criteria with the exception of Design, which is to constitute at
least half of assessed work at Part 1 and Part 2 levels. The terms ‘knowledge’, ‘understanding’ and ‘skills’ are used
in the General and Professional Criteria to indicate the nature of achievement required as the student progresses
through qualifications at Parts 1 and 2.GCi Ability to create architectural designs that satisfy both aesthetic and technical Before After
