IAR1102

Interior architecture studio 2

6 points - 12 hours per week including 4 studio hours and 8 independent study hours - Second semester - Caulfield - Prerequisites: IAR1101, IAR1402 - Corequisites: IAR1410

Objectives On successful completion of this subject; students should be able to analyse a simple interior architecture brief; understand the basic range of factors and issues that must be considered in interior architecture; identify, explore and evaluate design options; apply problem-solving methods, synthesise design resolutions and communicate solutions using models, presentation and technical drawings; achieve an integrated holistic design at a basic level that addresses human needs.

Synopsis This subject places the hypothetical concepts and studies undertaken in IAR1101 in the context of professional interior architecture practice. The issues of structuring, servicing and constructing spaces are introduced. The project work uses simplified professional projects to ensure students start to consider all aspects of interior architecture problems. The projects involve the use of a brief, analysis of requirements, design problem-solving methods, synthesis of design resolutions and communication of design solutions. The primary concern in this subject is for students to be able to start to overcome the project constraints in order to integrate the range of requirements and issues, and achieve a holistic design that addresses human needs.

Assessment Design projects: 90% - Oral and written presentations: 10%
