| This unit expands on the foundational knowledge introduced in Professional Practice Theory 1 by further exploring the complexities of contemporary architectural practice and delving deeper into the practical and business aspects of architecture. Students will examine contemporary practice models, business and management strategies, and the full spectrum of professional services undertaken in an architectural office, from contractual engagement to project completion. Students will develop skills in stakeholder consultation, fee proposals, feasibility studies, design phases, quality assurance, specifications, contract types, contract administration and post-occupancy evaluation. |
