Each AAD builds upon past design studio knowledge and achievements by setting an annual theme that informs both Advanced Architectural Design modules and other AAD Modules. The aim of this module is to expand the understanding of Advanced Architectural Design's Annual agenda through bringing together the strands of the first semester's investigations in surprising conjunctions through the proposal and the design of a personal project. Students are asked to approach the possibilities created by these apparently disconnected procedures in an entirely logical way. At this stage the Design Studio places emphasis on the importance of developing a student's ability to demonstrate conceptual clarity, to locate their ideas in the spectrum of current and past architecture and to maintain a strong link between concept and product. To do this students are encouraged to explore a wide range of media and techniques of representation to find those appropriate to the explanation of their own architectural ideas.
