Caulfield First semester 2004 (Day)
Synopsis:
Objectives: 1.approach existing designs with a critical sense of their deeper social and aesthetic values as well as the popular connotations of their styles; 2.discern symbolic associations in interiors and express links between their design and a historical vocabulary of images and metaphors which operate in traditional interpretations of such spaces and objects; 3.support their intuitive opinions-either in favour of a design or against certain designs-with reasoned argument and engage the language of criticism in debating the sense or the vanity of certain spaces and objects; 4.be able to engage in the imaginative task of describing the situations in which a given space would be used in ways which reveal its strengths and weaknesses; 5.project discriminating judgements with a sense of critical rigour which explores and challenges the existence of the principles of design; 6.feel comfortable with iconoclastic views of design classics wherever a coherent or poetic reason for disapproval seems justified.
