No ‘comments must be added for successful candidates, ‘The recommendation of the Examiners will be put to the Registrar of the Architects Registration Board for inclusion in the applicant records as set out in the Examination Procedures. 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 requirements. laterview Interview Oves The graduate will have the ability to: 1 prepare and present building design projects of diverse scale, complexity, andtypeina «Yes C1 Yes variety of contexts, using a range of media, and in response to a brief; 2 understand the constructional and structural systems, the environmental strategies and the regulatory requirements that apply to the design and construction of a comprehensive T¥es Yes design project; 3 develop a conceptual and critical approach to architectural design that integrates and Ove Dre: satisfies the aesthetic aspects of a building and the technical requirements of its construction and the needs of the user.
