Aims and objectives

This unit aims to engage students in the design process through research, conceptual development, design development and communication. Students will begin to make an analysis of how design impacts on the interior and the built environment as built form, and explore concepts of design in interior-specific contexts, particularly relating to experiencing spaces for living. There is an emphasis on the development of knowledge and skills in design as a reflective practice.
 
 
At the completion of this unit students should be able to:
  • Explore a range of conceptual design methodologies and ways of thinking;
  • Explore concepts of form and communication;
  • Critically analyse space and human environments and evaluate the effectiveness of a design from multiple perspectives;
  • Engage in, and articulate, the conceptual design process in the context of constructing space as places of experience;
  • Use sketching to produce a series of possible solutions quickly and efficiently;
  • Manipulate scale and resolve aspects of drawings as a tool for communication;
  • Work independently and in teams to articulate work in progress and completed projects visually and verbally.
