Caulfield First semester 2007 (Day)
Caulfield Second semester 2007 (Day)
The first of a three part design project. In most cases the project is to be determined by the students at the start of the semester with their lecturer. The outcomes will vary depending upon the objectives established by the students and staff. The unit gives a chance to research issues, undertake designs that will lead to the development of these ideas in the Design Projects. Students should be concerned with developing their design philosophy, the way in which it responds to social needs and its visual and social expression as a preliminary to its development in the project. The contemporary discourse in design and related theory is discussed.
On successful completion of this unit, students will:
Folio presentation: 100%, of which 20% occurs early in the semester
