Course Design This course is designed for students who want to learn the process of self-build, tools of the trade and apply them to a self-build project.
Structure Courses
take place in the working environment of a design studio with access to
all resources needed to help find individual solutions to your site and method of construction. The
classes are theory and workshop based. Using a mix of theory and
practical work , students are encouraged to develop an understanding of
the principles and processes involved in self-build, to help understand how to programme your build, the initial stages, preparation,
improve analysis and appreciation of both good design, construction, and use of
materials. Independent research is promoted through a small amount of
home study each week. Students and tutors work together to articulate
ideas and provide valuable feedback to develop the project design and programme from concept
through to the finished scheme to produce an outline programme for your project. Topics covered include :
Plot finding
Making the most of your site
Guidelines for the process of planning
Construction types, which could be best for you
How to work with an architect and builder to get the best from your self-build
Typical site programmes
What you really need to know before you start and strategies for keeping your project on track
