Description
The professional courses, Architectural Management and Architecture Practice, help students to learn about being in the business of architecture: from the aspirational to the pragmatic, the ethical to the legal, these courses deal with our duties as architects. Like the practice of architecture itself, these courses will entail working with professionals and peers to develop strong skills in collaboration and communication. Architectural Management takes us from the moment a client and architect relationship is formed and fastened. We learn about making agreements, about contractual relationships within both Client and Architect agreements and Construction contracts, and the obligations of various parties. You will learn about the phases and processes involved with bringing a project to bear, from comprehending feasibility to understanding the phases of design, construction, and post construction, including complying with authorities and working with project stakeholders. Throughout the course, you will go through the process of initiating projects, covering agreements and fee proposals, briefing, assembling site information, understanding constraints and project feasibility. You will work through a project delivery framework, encompassing stakeholder consultation processes, contract types, and contract administration.
