Design Solution
40 %

Originate successful design solutions to fundamental architectural problems by integrating concepts, formal/visual principles and techniques.

Inadequate

Does not attempt or is unable to complete design solutions.
Developing

Unsuccessful design solution due to lack of creative use of concept, limited exploration of technique and/or application of principles. Little effort to challenge creative boundaries resulting in obvious or poorly developed solution.
Adequate

Fundamentally sound design solution with moderately creative use of concept, fundamentally appropriate technique, and adequate application of principles. Solution shows some effort to challenge creative boundaries with limited or uneven success.
Accomplished

Interesting design solution showing consistently creative development of concept, original development of technique and original application of principles. Solution shows ongoing creative inquiry and exploration of design potential with largely effective results.
Mastery

Compelling design solution showing highly original creative development of concept, innovative application of techniques and exemplary use of principles . Solution shows rigorous creative inquiry and investigation throughout design process with highly successful results.
Formal & Spatial Principles
20 %

Demonstrate fundamental understanding and application of architectural formal + spatial principles as they relate to human experience.

Inadequate

Does not attempt or is unable to complete design solutions.
Developing

Limited understanding of experiental quality of architectural form and space resulting in largely unsuccessful architectural solutions. Significant problems with scale, materiality, sequence, circulation, enclosure or visual perception.
Adequate

Basic functional understanding of experiental qualtity of architectural form and space resulting in fundamentally sound architectural solutions. Moderate problems with scale, materiality, sequence, circulation, enclosure and or visual perception.
Accomplished

Clear understanding of experiental qualtity of architectural form and space resulting in successful architectural solutions. Minor problems with scale, materiality, sequence, circulation, enclosure and or visual perception.
Mastery

Advanced understanding of experiental qualtity of architectural form and space resulting in exemplary architectural solutions. Effective use of scale, materiality, sequence, circulation, enclosure and visual perception.
Design Process
20 %

Demonstrate a rigorous design process through critical iterative production.

Inadequate

Does not attempt or is unable to complete critical iterative production.
Developing

Inconsistent levels of critical iterative production resulting in a flawed and uneven design development process. Regularly fails to meet daily progress, attendance and participation requirements. Does not document or respond to critical input from class presentations in design iterations.
Adequate

Consistent levels of critical iterative production resulting in a basic design development process. Regularly meets daily progress, attendance and participation requirements. Usually shows evidence of critical response through basic level of continued research, sketchbook documentation and iterative design development.
Accomplished

High levels of critical iterative production resulting in a mostly successful, thorough design development process. Consistently meets all daily progress, attendance and participation requirements. Consistently shows evidence of critical response through regular research, sketchbook documentation and iterative design development.
Mastery

Excellent levels of critical iterative production resulting in a highly successful, comprehensive design development process. Reliably fulfills and exceeds all daily progress, attendance and participation requirements. Unfailingly shows evidence of self-disciplined critical response through sustained, relevant research, rigorous sketchbook use and exemplary iterative design development.
Communication
20 %

Communicate design solutions effectively using architectural presentation materials and techniques.

Inadequate

Does not attempt, or is unable to complete design solutions.
Developing

Significant problems with presentation materials and/or techniques resulting in unsuccessful level of design communication. Major errors, omissions, consistency or quality problems in drawings, process and models. Poor verbal communication inhibiting discussion beyond rudimentary level.
Adequate

Basic competence in presentation materials and techniques resulting in an acceptable level of design communication of general completeness. Presentation materials showing basic elements of design organized and comprehensible. No major errors, omissions, consistency or quality problems in drawings, process or models. Verbal communication understandable resulting in basic discussion of design solution.
Accomplished

Advanced achievement in presentation materials resulting in successful design communication of systematic consistency. Presentation materials comprehensive, detailed and well organized with minimal minor errors and requiring no further explanation. Verbal communication well planned and executed and effective resulting in further discussion of design solution.
Mastery

Exemplary presentation in materials and verbal presentation resulting in highly effective design communication of clarity, detail and precision. Presentation materials at portfolio quality suitable for transfer. No errors or omissions. Verbal communication highly effective resulting in advanced discussion of design solution.
