ABSTRACT
Case studies of what can be described as successful designs by wellknown architects can be found in a variety of published media, such as books, journals and websites. These design precedents, though they are very useful and informative, their usefulness to students is limited sometimes. Published good design is by famous and well-known architects to whom the student at times does not relate. This is one of the reasons that a different approach is taken to the use of case studies. The design examples presented in this chapter were designed by students in Architecture and Architectural Technology of various years and abilities. It is hoped that they would help to portray ways of engaging with design issues from a student's perspective. Each of the projects had a different emphasis and level of complexity. All three, however, tried to address some of the technological and environmental issues that many architecture courses discuss.
