CPD

This presentation is equivalent to 1 hour/point of formal CPD and will deliver outcomes related to the following Competencies from the National Standard of Competency for Architects:

    DESIGN / DOCUMENTATION
    1.2 Establishment, analysis and evaluation of client project requirements and objectives.
    1.4 Identification of factors that may impact on client project requirements and objectives.
    Design: Pre-Design
    2.6 Preparation and analysis of project development options in response to project brief.
    Design: Conceptual Design
    3.3 Design response incorporates assessment of the physical location and relevant wider regional, contextual and environmental issues. 
    3.4 Design response incorporates assessment of relevant legislation, codes and industry standards. 
    3.6 Assessment of the economic impact on the project of design strategies and options.
    3.7 Assessment and integration of construction systems and materials consistent with project brief. 
    4.2 Evaluation of design options against values of physical, environmental and cultural contexts.
    4.4 Inclusion of expertise relevant to specialists and consultants in developing the project design.
    4.6 Investigation and integration of appropriate material selection for the project design.
    4.7 Coordination and integration of appropriate environmental systems, including for thermal comfort, lighting and acoustics
    5.5 Integration of materials and components based upon an understanding of their physical properties.
