their findings.
2. Project One B (Individual)
This project introduces students to key people in the built environment and how drawing conventions and
calculation is used in the field. Students will explore and understand the relationship of key people in built
environment and how the application and complexity of drawing convention and skills is applied in the
practice as a means of communication.
3. Project Two - (Individual)
The final project introduces students to drawing techniques and orthographic projections. Students will
demonstrate their basic drafting skills with drawing that express three-dimensional space through a series of
two-dimensional drawings.
4. Taylors Graduate Capabilities Portfolio (Online Portfolio) (Individual)
Each student is to develop an e-Portfolio, a web-based portfolio in the form of a personal academic blog.
The e-Portfolio is developed progressively for all modules taken throughout Semesters 1 and 2, and MUST
PASS THIS COMPONENT. The portfolio must encapsulate the acquisition of Module Learning Outcome,
Programme Learning Outcomes and Taylors Graduate Capabilities, and showcases the distinctiveness and
