ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION
!Assessment 1 / Stasis Analysis
Working in groups of 2, select 2 architecture articles from the Sydney Morning Herald or the
Guardian, or the New York Times. (if you are working in a group of 3, select 3 articles).
Identify, within the article, the three steps of stasis: facts, values, recommendation.
! The assessment must be submitted as a single A4 page, portrait orientation, as a PDF file.
!The file must be named using the following convention.
Surname_Name_and_Surname_Name_Stasis_DAAE2002_APS_2015.pdf
!The page must include: Your Name, Your SID, Assessment 1: Stasis Analysis, DAAE2002,
Architecture, Place and Society 2015, Coordinator: Dr Simon Weir
!Other than the these details the entire assessment consists of:
Two web links and seven sentences. No more, no less.
!The assessment has three parts: two equal halves and a concluding sentence:
The two equal halves are two articles analysed in the same manner.
(If you are a group of three, there are three equal thirds)
!Each equal half (or third) has four sections:
1. URL link to the article.
2. One sentence on the facts.
3. One sentence on the values.
4. One sentence on the recommendations.
!The final part is the concluding sentence.
The concluding sentence is a reflection, or evaluation, of the fact-value-recommendation of
the two or three articles.
!Since this last sentence could be variously conceived, I suggest selecting articles that produce an
interesting and insightful reflection; seen this way, the assessment is a design exercise, where
intelligently selecting from innumerable available options is the valued skill.

!Since the assessment will be graded mostly on seven sentences, you should pay extra-close
attention to spelling, grammar and rhetoric. These sentences must be grammatically perfect and
exceptionally clear. Do not replace sentences with floating clauses or phrases or fragments or
idioms. This is an exercise in using the English language to maximum effect, with maximum
elegance and power. Considering the care expected in your writing of these two sentences, they
may also be understood as exercises in aphoristic poetry.
!!
Tip: Do not automatically reach for very long sentences. The priority aim is to write good
sentences. Say everything you need to say, and be succinct.
!Tip: Prepare the sentences so that they realistically represent the newspaper articles (or
architects) position, then the final sentence articulating a comparative criticism of the fact-value-
recommendations expressed.
!Tip: Write the three sentences so that they are coherent and informative to someone who has not
read the articles, but will make more sense to someone who has. The assessors will read the
articles in question to check the validity of your sentences.
!
!Assessment 2 / Cafe Transformation
This assessment is an exercise in applying the logic of the fact-value-recommendation sequence
to an architectural design task.
!Your site for the first project is the cafe in the Law Building Annex. You may chose whether to do
respond to the Interior Brief or the Exterior Brief.
!Exterior Brief:
Eastern Avenue is the widest road on campus, the pedestrian thoroughfare beginning at the
forecourt of the Universitys main administrative and ceremonial hub, the Quad, to the Universitys
largest library and to a group of choice faculty buildings including Medicine, Law and Chemistry,
terminating both at a main road with bus stop, and at a bridge leading over the road into buildings
beyond.
!Yet for all its symbolic potential and daily importance, is is almost always an unpleasant place to
be. When it is hot and sunny there very seldom any shade, when it is raining there is no shelter
and the flat surfaces of the buildings often make fast wind channels that take your umbrella with
them.
!The buildings on each side rarely help the streetscape. The Library, Medicine, Law, Madsen and
most of Chemistry is surrounded by solid vertical walls. Chemistry steps back from the street edge,
making room for some trees and some nice places to sit beneath them. Among this oases, the
building has a large awning projecting out over the entry providing a dry place to close ones
umbrella before entering. While few people appreciate Chemistrys visual aesthetic, the architects
contribution to Eastern Avenue is deliberately friendly and generous.
!All the the newer buildings were designed without these motives. The design task for the Cafe
Perspective is to improve this building in whatever way you desire AND make it more
accommodating to Sydney life and weather.
!Interior Brief:
The rectangular interior space adjacent to Eastern Avenue has a glass entry at either end, a broad
ramp up to the restaurant entry and elevators, stairs down, and a standing-only cafe area. The
patterns of human movement through this space are easily seen. Visit the space at different times

of day, and you can see how it changes. The queue for the cafe is kept suitably against the inner
wall, but when it extends longer, standing people obstruct access to the stairs. After queueing and
ordering, people stand around the free space waiting for their order. When many people are
waiting like this, is becomes very difficult to walk through the space. How could the architecture be
altered to better deal with these two problems? Propose a physical intervention to assist the
queuing and waiting patterns to reduce the obstruction for people not using the cafe.
!Outcomes:
Using the perspective techniques taught in class, alter a photograph to produce a realistic
representation of a design change to the building.
!Write a simple sentence (or two or three), using the three steps of stasis, to present your argument
for the design.
! The assessment must be submitted in two forms:
one A3 page, landscape orientation, as a PDF file less than 10Mb
&
one A3 page, landscape orientation, printed and brought to the tutorial for pin-up.
!!
The file must be named using the following convention.
Surname_Name__CafeTransformation_DAAE2002_APS_2015.pdf
!The page must include: Your Name, Your SID, Assessment 2: Cafe Transformation,
DAAE2002, Architecture, Place and Society 2015, Coordinator: Dr Simon Weir
!The page must include your sentence/s presenting your argument,
and a single altered photograph, filling all, or almost all (>75%), of the A3 page.

the learning outcomes of the subject
Pass Work showing a satisfactory achievement of the learning outcomes of the
50 - 64 subject.
INC Work showing a satisfactory achievement and/or quality on the more important
