Students must submit a report with floor plans, structural plans, load assumptions, beam and column analysis, and will be assessed on their understanding of structural systems and application of analysis skills.
The document discusses the design of the Sharma Springs building in Bali, Indonesia. Key points include:
- The building uses bamboo as its primary construction material in accordance with traditional Balinese architectural principles of utilizing natural, local materials.
- Bamboo was chosen as a natural response to the surrounding forest context and for its ability to provide structural integrity during earthquakes.
- Its use of bamboo allows for cross ventilation and thermal comfort in Bali's hot, humid climate through the hollow structure and hygroscopic properties of bamboo.
- Bamboo provided advantages for the construction through its low cost, availability locally, ease of construction and maintenance, and sustainability. Some limitations included insect damage risks and specialized construction

General Rules and Regulations
Late Submission Penalty
The School imposes a late submission penalty for work submitted late without a valid reason e.g. a medical
certificate. Any work submitted after the deadline (which may have been extended) shall have the percentage
grade assigned to the work on face value reduced by 10% for the first day and 5% for each subsequent day late.
A weekend counts as one (1) day.
Individual members of staff shall be permitted to grant extensions for assessed work that they have set if they
are satisfied that a student has given good reasons.
Absenteeism at intermediate or final presentation will result in zero mark for that presentation.
The Board of Examiners may overrule any penalty imposed and allow the actual mark achieved to be used if the
late submission was for a good reason.
Attendance, Participation and Submission of Assessment Components
Attendance is compulsory. Any student who arrives late after the first half-hour of class will be considered as
absent. The lectures and tutorials will assist you in expanding your ideas and your assessments. A minimum of
80% attendance is required to pass the module and/or be eligible for the final examination and/or presentation.
Students will be assessed based on their performance throughout the semester. Students are expected to attend
and participate actively in class. Class participation is an important component of every module.
Students must attempt all assessment components. Failure to attempt assessment components worth 20% or
more, the student would be required to resubmit or resit an assessment component, even though the student has
achieved more than 50% in the overall assessment. Failure to attempt all assessment components, including
final exam and final presentation, will result in failing the module irrespective of the marks earned, even though
the student has achieved more than 50% in the overall assessment.
Plagiarism (Excerpt from Taylor’s University Student Handbook 2013, page 59)
Plagiarism, which is an attempt to present another person’s work as your own by not acknowledging the source,
is a serious case of misconduct which is deemed unacceptable by the University.
"Work" includes written materials such as books, journals and magazine articles or other papers and also
includes films and computer programs. The two most common types of plagiarism are from published materials
and other students’ works.
1. Published Materials
In general, whenever anything from someone else’s work is used, whether it is an idea, an opinion or the
results of a study or review, a standard system of referencing should be used. Examples of plagiarism may
include a sentence or two, or a table or a diagram from a book or an article used without acknowledgement.
Serious cases of plagiarism can be seen in cases where the entire paper presented by the student is copied
from another book, with an addition of only a sentence or two by the student.
While the former can be treated as a simple failure to cite references, the latter is likely to be viewed as
cheating in an examination.
Though most assignments require the need for reference to other peoples’ works, in order to avoid
plagiarism, students should keep a detailed record of the sources of ideas and findings and ensure that these
sources are clearly quoted in their assignment. Note that plagiarism also refers to materials obtained from the
Internet too.
4. I T DESIGN ARC 30205 : FEB 2014 4 | P a g e
2. Other Students’ Work
Circulating relevant articles and discussing ideas before writing an assignment is a common practice.
However, with the exception of group assignments, students should write their own papers. Plagiarising the
work of other students into assignments includes using identical or very similar sentences, paragraphs or
sections. When two students submit papers that are very similar in tone and content, both are likely to be
penalized.
Student Participation
Your participation in the module is encouraged. You have the opportunity to participate in the following ways:
Your ideas and questions are welcomed, valued and encouraged.
Your input is sought to understand your perspectives, ideas and needs in planning subject revision.
You have opportunities to give feedback and issues will be addressed in response to that feedback.
Do reflect on your performance in Portfolios.
Student evaluation on your views and experiences about the module are actively sought and used as an
integral part of improvement in teaching and continuous improvement.
Student-centered Learning (SCL)
The module uses the Student-centered Learning (SCL) approach. Utilization of SCL embodies most of the
principles known to improve learning and to encourage student’s participation. SCL requires students to be
active, responsible participants in their own learning and instructors are to facilitate the learning process. Various
teaching and learning strategies such as experiential learning, problem-based learning, site visits, group
discussions, presentations, working in group and etc. can be employed to facilitate the learning process. In SCL,
students are expected to be:
active in their own learning;
self-directed to be responsible to enhance their learning abilities;
able to cultivate skills that are useful in today’s workplace;
active knowledge seekers;
active players in a team.
Types of Assessment and Feedback
You will be graded in the form of formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments will provide
information to guide you in the research process. This form of assessment involves participation in discussions
and feedback sessions. Summative assessment will inform you about the level of understanding and
performance capabilities achieved at the end of the module.

Assessment Components
1. Project One (Elements & Principles)
– 2D Art Work (Group + Individual)
This introduction project is created for the students to understand the basic design elements and
design principles. The first part will be on design elements and principles in nature. Students are required to
show their understanding through sketches. The second part students will focus on design principles and
compositions by making a series of art works using small daily items.
2. Project Two (2D to 3D)
– The 3d Box (The Miniature Toy 3D box) (Group + Individual)
The aim of Project Two is for the students to learn the transformation from 2D elements to 3D element. The
first part students will be playing with the shapes, form, colors, and materials and transforming it into a 3D art
piece to suite a certain given word or phrase. The second part students will create a miniature 3D box display
for a miniature toy implementing the design elements, principles and design process.
3. The Journal
– Design Process Journal (Individual)
The aim of the “The Journal” is as a medium for students to record ideas, information, their investigation and
references. Students will also be given a topic base on topic of in this module. Mind maps, sketches,
scribbles, design process, diagrams, magazine/paper cuts are examples of items that will be placed in the
Design Process Journal.
4. Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities Portfolio
- (Online Portfolio) – (Individual)
Each student is to develop an ePortfolio, a web-based portfolio in the form of a personal academic blog. The
ePortfolio is developed progressively for all modules taken throughout Semesters 1 AND 2, and must
encapsulates the acquisition of Module Learning Outcome, Programme Learning Outcomes and Taylor’s
Graduate Capabilities, and showcase the distinctiveness and identity of the student as a graduate of the
programme.
