ARC6991   Live Project 1   (15 credits)

Description

This is a core module for all MAAD students. Students work together in Live Project groups with students from other Masters courses for the first six weeks of the Autumn semester. Live Project groups with a range of clients including local community groups, charities, health organisations and regional authorities. Live Projects include design/build, masterplanning, building feasibility studies, sustainability strategies, online resources and participation toolkits. In every case, the project is real, happening in real time with real people. Specific projects vary on an annual basis, but are chosen to develop student's skills in design, team building, briefing, client liaison, community engagement and project management. The projects in these modules are entirely group based, with students working mostly in teams of 13-15 people.
