The module investigates the proposition that different ways of researching, working and communicating architectural history allow different information to be obtained and different things to be said about the subject, and different audiences to be reached. The module introduces students to some of the different ways in which architectural history may be researched, applied and communicated outside of conventional forms of scholarship, and to some of the basic skills involved.

As part of the Masters in Architectural History programme, this module also complements the more theoretical and historical modules of the course by examining some of the practical aspects of their research, development and application. Students successfully completing this module gain an increased knowledge of these different areas, and an introduction to the skills involved. Students also gain a greater awareness of the benefits and challenges such activities offer to the discipline of architectural history.

The learning experience is predominantly based on introductory lectures and seminars led by experts in their field, followed by hands-on assignments. Learning is therefore based onÌýdiscussing, doingÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýcreating.

Group work is a core mode of learning in the module, and all students are expected to engage positively with this approach when undertaking it in your assignments. Not only is it an important part of sharing knowledge, and understanding that knowledge is constructed through discussion and analysis, but group work also provides an important social form of learning for the cohort, and is an essential skill for all professional and research cultures.Ìý
