Modification History

Release 1

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 11.0.

New unit.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to research architectural styles and movements and identify and analyse how they influence design projects. It includes documenting findings and information as reference materials for use in design projects.

The unit applies to drafters who work under the supervision and instruction of building designers or architects and use specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable drafting problems.

No legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 11.0.

New unit.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency, a candidate must meet the performance criteria of this unit by conducting research and compiling reference materials to inform two different building design projects involving different architectural styles and eras.

Knowledge Evidence

To be competent in this unit, a candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

  • architectural styles and eras:
  • Colonial (1788 - c.1840)
  • Victorian (1840 - c.1890)
  • Federation (1890 - c.1915)
  • Inter-war (c.1915 - c.1940)
  • Post-war (c. 1940 - 1960)
  • Late twentieth century (1960 -2000)
  • Contemporary (2000 onwards)
  • characteristics of materials
  • elements and principles of design
  • design trends including liveability and accessibility, energy efficiency
  • geographical research used to detect influences on architectural styles and movements:
  • international
  • national
  • regional
  • local
  • research techniques
  • methods for documenting and storing research information and reference materials.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting where these skills and knowledge would be performed. This includes access to:

  • computer with internet access and relevant software to undertake required research.
