Issue Date: May 2024


Qualification -
Unit of Competency LMFID4009A - Research architectural styles and movements
Description This unit specifies the outcomes required to research architectural styles and movements and analyse how they influence interior decoration and design projects.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for the implementation of research techniques to access a range of information sources on architectural styles and movements. It also covers the identification of how architecture influences design and decoration outcomes and the documentation of information for use in decoration and design projects. This unit requires employability skills in initiative and enterprise and problem solving in order to direct the research and identify research implications. Communication skills are used to access and interpret information using information technologies and document findings. Self management and learning skills are applied in the location and analysis of new information and the assessment of the value of information sourced.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Effectively research a range of architectural styles and movements to assist with informing current design practices

Effectively analyse design elements and principles in architecture

Use research techniques

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for researching architectural styles

Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to researching architectural styles used in Australia

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills
