The most sensible project and best developed project I had was the South African High Commission design from final year Bachelor as featured in previous posts here & here.
We were required to develop it in according to local legislation, so for the purpose of the assignments, I transplanted the design to Brisbane on an imaginary site.
The first subject assignment required that we research sustainable design technologies and present that research in a report from which we could develop a sustainability strategy for the design.
View the complete Sustainability report here.
The second assignment required the full development of those sustainability initiatives, integrating technologies and design strategies.

In the following subject we took that same design and developed it to be compliant with local, state and federal legislation. We developed it through Development Approval, Building Approval & Construction drawing stages. The Construction set required that we develop detail drawings & full setout. The development of schedules & specifications was deemed unnecessary.

Both projects were extensive for a university assignment but were some of the most valuable subjects throughout the entire university course as they required us to implement real world thinking into design. It was actually a rather liberating experience taking a previous design and developing it to a point that it could actually be built. Although still removed from the realities of budget they were still a foremost consideration in the development.
