Description
This course is a major research-based investigation into a subject related to the student’s area of specialisation. It can be seen as a continuation of work undertaken in ARCH 1481 and ARCH 1482, but it is a standalone project and yields its own outcome – the honours thesis. This is the culmination of a well-informed understanding of the chosen research topic. It is expected that the honours thesis will offer a novel or in-depth interpretation of the existing knowledge and literature. The length of the thesis, including drawings, models and illustrations, should not exceed 20,000 words. For students undertaking a combined written and design-as-research study, the length of the written component will be a minimum of 7000 words.
