Module Aims

• To focus on the specific codes and conventions that tacit modes of knowledge-transmission employ.
• To examine the nature and efficacy of these codes, their conditioning role for architectural cultures and their performance within specific contexts and within local architectural cultures.
• To unpack the ways in which these codes are communicated to clients, builders and a wider community of stakeholders and the general public.
• To gain insights on:
  • how codes affect the architectural production;
  • how codes can be used to sustain communities of tacit knowledge in architecture;
  • how codes change over time, and are transmitted to – and adopted by newcomers.
