The course develops through theme studies in architectural design, technologies and environments, history and theory, and communication. These will come together in the form of a graduand exhibition normally developed during the final studio unit in the third year of the course.

Part A. Architecture design studios

Architecture design studio units bring together a range of complex issues inherent in the production of architecture: material, structure, program, site, history and representation. They focus on the architectural project as a process of investigation, critical observation and experimentation. Design studios foreground the development of architectural designs through material and three-dimensional testing of ideas. They combine various design, technical, conceptual, historical and professional issues into creative architectural outcomes across a range of scales and types of projects.

Part B. Technologies and environments studies

Technologies and environments units cover material, structural, construction and environmental conditions. Studies begin with the exploration of materials through physical models and drawings. They move on to the introduction of structural systems and then to environmental systems including human comfort and energy usage. Studies culminate with a comprehensive integration of building systems and the introduction of relevant professional practices. Across the units, issues are explored through design projects including the use of physical and digital models for performance analysis.

Part C. History and theory studies

History and theory units provide the skills to research and analyse architecture issues, and develop awareness and critical understanding of architectural and urban developments across local, national and international contexts. Through the prism of history, you will begin to situate the built environment in relation to broad social, cultural, environmental and theoretical developments. These units introduce the languages of architecture - formal, visual, written, and verbal - and enable you to become more articulate in all of these modes.

Part D. Communication studies

In communications units you will learn various representational techniques relevant to the technical, conceptual and intuitive practices of architectural design work. The investigations develop through a series of clearly defined exercises that build upon one another and increase in complexity and scale over time, from drawing to key software applications and design media necessary for professional practice. You will be introduced to tools, techniques and media for developing and expressing architectural ideas.

Part E. Occupational health and safety study

This will introduce you to occupational health, safety and environmental training particularly within the context of studying art, design and architecture.

Part F. Free elective study

Electives will enable you to further develop your knowledge of architectural design, or to select units from across the faculty or the University (in which you are eligible to enrol).

Requirements

The course comprises 144 points, of which 132 points are focussed on the study of architecture and 12 points are free electives.

Elective units may be at any level, however no more than 10 units (60 points) are to be completed at level 1.

Description

Design is a constantly evolving discipline that actively responds to a rapidly changing world. With a focus on people-centred futures, and embracing a creative problem-solving mindset, it is a profession with a vital role to play in the twenty-first century. It is an interdisciplinary practice concerned with improving human experiences; adding cultural value; contributing to the world's economy; and, providing intelligent solutions to emerging local and global challenges. Through diverse, thoughtful, innovative and sustainable design processes, designers create spatial experiences, objects and systems, and communication solutions, that influence behavior, activate interaction and respond to both personal and public needs.

The Bachelor of Design will enable you to build a high level of design expertise in one of the following specialist areas of study:

  • Collaborative design;
  • Communication design;
  • Industrial design;
  • Spatial design

Collaborative design will prepare you for employment in a range of interdisciplinary design careers such as mediated experiences and spatial design practices; products and packaging; and the increasing confluence of real and virtual service interactions. The specialist area of study brings together design thinking, methods and experiences from across the design discipline specialist areas of study. It responds to the emerging need for designers with interdisciplinary skill sets that can apply design processes that engage spatial, communication, experiential and object-based solutions.

Communication design will prepare you for employment as a designer in the areas of graphic design, visual communication and digital media. It will equip graduates with the ability to work collaboratively with teams: marketers, service providers, clients and other designers; and apply effective visual processes across a range of communication challenges. These include such areas as corporate identity, interactive environments, interaction designs, information designs, analogue and digital publishing, advertising, promotion, packaging, illustration, typography, way-finding systems, animation, and motion design.

Industrial design will prepare you for employment in the fields of industrial and product design and other related areas of industry and commerce. Industrial design is concerned with the research and development of design in consumer and industrial products used by people. These range from industrial equipment to motor vehicles and from medical equipment to domestic appliances. The industrial designer works as a part of a team involving engineering, production and marketing.

Spatial design will prepare you for employment in the fields of interior and spatial design. Spatial designers collaborate with developers, builders, architects and other designers, working on a wide range of projects that may include commercial, cultural, institutional, hospitality and domestic spaces. They create the spaces, lighting, objects and experiences that encourage people to engage and interact. They apply their design skills and knowledge to commercial and domestic interiors, entertainment venues, festivals, exhibitions or theatre sets.

Double degrees

Specialist areas of study within the Bachelor of Design can be taken as double degrees as follows:

  • Bachelor of Design / Bachelor of Media Communication
  • Bachelor of Design / Bachelor of Business
  • Bachelor of Design / Bachelor of Information Technology
  • Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (with the Industrial design specialist area of study and the mechanical engineering specialist area of study only)

This will lead to the award of two degrees; the design specialist area of study degree and the degree offered by the partner course. The requirements for the award of each of the specialist degrees will be fulfilled in part by cross crediting of units required in the separate courses. Course maps for the double degrees can be found at: www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2019handbooks/maps

You should refer to the course entry requirements for the partner course.

Specialisations

Collaborative design

Collaborative designers are skilled across a diverse range of design expertise. This specialist area of study will unite methods and processes from across design disciplines and activate hybrid competencies. As a collaborative designer you will integrate multi-disciplinary skills to resolve challenges. You will engage with the full breadth of design tools and outcomes including image, language, product, narratives, systems, services, public and private space, experience, materiality and virtuality.

On completion of this specialist area of study you will possess independent conceptual and practical design skills, but with an enhanced ability to engage in team-based agile, collaborative design processes. You will complete the specialist area of study with a bespoke but industry-relevant qualification that addresses the increasing demand for multi-disciplinary design practitioners.

Communication design

Communication designers help people connect and make sense of the world through images, sound, motion, language, and temporal forms of engagement across a broad range of communication media. These include, but are not limited to, digital and analogue publications, identity design, interactive information design, way-finding systems, web sites, posters, data visualization, apps, motion design and animation.

This specialist area of study will provide you with what it takes to become an independent, enquiring and socially responsible communication designer, able to work across a multitude of production platforms. It lays the foundation for a career in graphic design, visual communication and digital media.

With the Bachelor of Communication Design you will acquire an industry-relevant qualification and a body of work that demonstrates your creative thinking skills; your conceptual maturity; your problem solving ability; and your dexterity with contemporary visual communication media.

Industrial design

Industrial designers embrace art and technology to develop products, systems, services and experiences. When designing, they create physical form in response to function and explore methods of manufacturing by sketching, researching, testing out, and making. By applying their understanding of materials, manufacturing and how people use products, industrial designers combine technical innovation with aesthetics to create beautiful, functional products. Through this specialist area of study you will gain the knowledge and skills to develop an effective, attractive and marketable product, from initial concept to production.

Industrial designers work in teams of other designers, alongside other disciplines such as engineering, production, marketing and research and development. They are responsible for the creation of things which do not yet exist, and as such have a creative capacity for new ideas, and a practical capacity to help bring these ideas into being. Industrial designers often work in design consultancies, for large companies who have their own in-house design team, or for themselves in smaller design studios or designer-maker settings.

Spatial design

Spatial design professionals use creative design and construction technology to solve interior spatial challenges. They understand how people engage with the world, and how structures, spaces and environments can offer outstanding experiences. They design commercial and domestic interiors, entertainment venues, festivals, exhibitions, and theatre sets. They design the spaces, lighting and furniture to create environments that encourage people to interact.

Spatial designers possess a unique balance of strengths, combining creative design with building technology knowledge. They explore the creative use of space, structure and experience to develop conceptual agendas that are provocative and innovative, and material solutions that address contemporary conditions.

The degree will prepare you to work as a spatial, experience or interior designer. As such, you will find yourself working alongside developers, builders and architects on a wide range of projects that may include commercial, cultural, institutional, hospitality and domestic spaces.

Structure

The course develops through theme studies in history and theory, a drawing foundation, design studios specific to each of the specialist areas of study, and a range of self-selected elective units. These will come together in the form of a graduand exhibition developed during the final two studio units in the third year of the course.

Part A. History and theory studies

History and theory units will equip you with the skills necessary to research design issues that enable you to contextualise your own thinking and making in relation to the broader spectrum of global practices. These units will develop your ability to communicate ideas and strategies. Through the duel lens of historic and contemporary practice, you will begin to situate the place of design in society by referencing pivotal art, design and architecture movements. Later units address issues of culture, society and responsible design practices.

Part B. Drawing foundation

This will assist you to develop the practical and intellectual skills required by art, design and architecture students in the discipline of drawing.

Part C. Design studios

This is the component of the course through which you will develop key skills and concepts particular to your design discipline.

The collaborative design specialist area of study permits you to take studio units from the Communication, Industrial and Spatial design specialist areas of study within the first 2 years of the degree. You will complete the specialist area of study with two bespoke Collaborative design studio units in the final year of the degree. These units will bring together the unique insights you have gained from your previous interdisciplinary studio experiences. They will permit you to engage and intersect your collective skills to face design challenges that require the full breadth of design tools and experiences. You will develop independent conceptual and practical design skills alongside an ability to engage in collaborative design processes that build on your multidisciplinary design competencies.

In the communication design studio units you will undertake an exploration of traditional and emergent media and communication processes. You will learn to engage with and manipulate core design elements including typography, imagery, two and three-dimensional artifacts, interactivity, sound and motion, as key components to communication design solutions. Studio-based projects across both print and digital media platforms will develop skills in narrative story-telling, visible language, image construction and manipulation, interactive communication processes, production methods and technologies, and the planning and management of design outcomes.

In the industrial design studio units you will undertake a focused exploration of the range of issues, skills and techniques vital to the realisation of user-centred design. Through industrial design projects, you will learn about topics such as visualisation techniques, ergonomics, materials, production methods and technologies.

The spatial design studio units provide the opportunity to experiment with creative ideas while gaining an advanced understanding of the principles of spatial design. You will learn to translate your 2 dimensional concepts into 3 dimensional installations. Studio projects range from real client briefs involving cultural, commercial and community organisations to more speculative briefs that explore the opportunities and challenges of a continually transforming contemporary society. Through the sequence of studio units you will learn to create unique spaces and also how to adapt existing spaces to reflect your design ideas.

Part D. Occupational health and safety study

This will introduce you to occupational health, safety and environmental training particularly within the context of studying art, design and architecture.

Part E. Free elective study

Electives will enable you to further develop your knowledge of design, or to select units from across the faculty or the University (in which you are eligible to enrol).

Requirements

The course comprises 144 points, of which 96 points are focused on the study of design and 48 points are free electives.

The course develops through theme studies in: A. History and theory studies (30 points), B. Drawing foundation (6 points), and C. Design studios (60 points) specific to each of the specialist areas of study, Part D. Occupational health and safety study (0 points), and Part E. Free elective study (48 points).

Teaching methodologies consists of studio sessions, creative and technical laboratories, lectures, tutorials and research seminars.

Specialisations

Advanced studies in design

If you prefer a broadly applicable advanced design qualification you may choose, with the approval of your course coordinator, a selection of units from each level across the specialisation streams. This means you will refine your own studies by selecting from collaborative design, interaction design or multimedia design.

This enables you to tailor your unit choices while addressing the fundamental principles of advanced design practice and thinking. It will challenge you to connect research and practice across the design disciplines to become a highly thoughtful and engaged design practitioner. Throughout your studies you will build your learning by broadening your knowledge of key design constructs, deepening your professional learning in design areas of interest, and advancing your capacity as a design professional. The final semester of study provides the opportunity for you to pursue a major self-initiated project, or extend your skills by participating in a leading industry project.

Collaborative design

The collaborative design specialisation brings together expertise from disciplines that develop and create graphic, product and spatial designs. This specialisation responds directly to the contemporary shift towards collaborative design engagement. It will operate both conceptually and practically at the intersection of interior, graphic and industrial design practice. The program will expose you to design challenges that involve image, text, products, narratives, systems, services, public and private space, materiality and virtuality. These creative outputs are not approached as single entities, but in scenarios that require a comprehensive and holistic design approach. You will be required to demonstrate independent conceptual and practical skills and your ability to engage in collaborative design processes. The program will develop your professional awareness across the creative disciplines, prompt multidisciplinary design competencies, and promote broader skills in leadership, professional adaptability, and complex project planning. The final year of study provides the opportunity for you to pursue a major project, or extend your skills by participating in a leading industry project.

Interaction design

The interaction design specialisation develops your skills and competencies in the design of contemporary artefacts, products and services that engage with interactive, user-focused technologies and processes. These can include, but are not limited to, health and medical equipment, 'smart' furniture, educational toys, wearable technologies, public information kiosks and transport systems. You can engage with a diverse range of interactive processes, including the application of advanced technologies, electronics and programming, physical and virtual interface manipulation, engineering and material fabrication and rapid prototyping. The specialisation equips you with an understanding of the unique relationship that exists between interactive activities, products and human behaviour. You will develop a critical awareness of current social and commercial issues pertaining to interaction and user experience design. The final year of study provides the opportunity for you to pursue a major project, or extend your skills by participating in a leading industry-supported project.

Multimedia design

In the multimedia design specialisation you will engage with contemporary digital communication environments. This includes designing for the web, motion and animation, and interactive touch screen devices and surfaces. The specialisation emphasises an advanced knowledge of existing and emerging digital design processes and systems and embraces projects of varied scale, from hand-held smart devices to large public interactive screens. The studio units bring together practical design skills with the conceptual thinking required of contemporary digital communication environments. This includes an astute ability to construct a communication narrative, strategically and meaningfully engage multimedia processes with broader community and business needs, and understand the end-user's intuitive and iterative engagement with a project (web site, app and other screen-based media). The final year of study provides the opportunity for you to pursue a major project, or extend your skills by participating in a leading industry project.

Structure

The course develops through theme studies in architectural design, technologies and environments, history and theory, communication and applied professional practices. Exhibition of students' work at the conclusion of both stages 1 and 2 will demonstrate the integration of these themes through self-directed design project work.

Part A. Architecture design studios/Advanced architecture and design studios

Architecture design studio units bring together a range of complex issues inherent in the production of architecture: material, structure, program, site, history and representation. They focus on the architectural project as a process of investigation, critical observation and experimentation. Design studios foreground the development of architectural designs through material and three-dimensional testing of ideas. They combine various design, technical, conceptual, historical and professional issues into creative architectural outcomes across a range of scales and types of projects.

At the graduate level these studies will focus on advanced concepts and skills relevant to architecture design. Through project-based studio classes you will gain exposure to leading design practices. In conjunction with studios, you will select from a range of advanced architecture studies units, which are complementary depth units. These will introduce you to the methods and tactics of architectural design research and engage with the multidisciplinary socio-cultural, political, economic, historical, theoretical and technical dimensions relevant to architecture and urbanism. Studies culminate in the final year with a rich integrated project that draws on and advances prior learning.

Part B. Technologies and environments studies

Technologies and environments units cover material, structural, construction and environmental conditions. Studies begin with the exploration of materials through physical models and drawings. They move on to the introduction of structural systems and then to environmental systems including human comfort and energy usage. Across the units, issues are explored through design projects including the use of physical and digital models for performance analysis.

Part C. History and theory studies

History and theory units provide the skills to research and analyse architecture issues, and develop awareness and critical understanding of architectural and urban developments across local, national and international contexts. Through the prism of history, you will begin to situate the built environment in relation to broad social, cultural, environmental and theoretical developments. These units introduce the languages of architecture - formal, visual, written, and verbal - and enable you to become more articulate in all of these modes.

Part D. Communication studies

In communications units you will learn various representational techniques relevant to the technical, conceptual and intuitive practices of architectural design work. The investigations develop through a series of clearly defined exercises that build upon one another and increase in complexity and scale over time, from drawing to key software applications and design media necessary for professional practice. You will be introduced to tools, techniques and media for developing and expressing architectural ideas.

Part E: Professional practices

These studies culminate in a dedicated unit in the master's stage of the course, providing focus on the core business and regulatory aspects of practice as an architect within the context of multi-disciplinary collaborations and evolving construction methods and practices.

Part F. Occupational health and safety study

This will introduce you to occupational health, safety and environmental training particularly within the context of studying art, design and architecture.

Part G. Elective study

Electives will enable you to further develop your knowledge of architecture, and enable you to tailor your studies to individual interests or to select units from across the faculty or the University (in which you are eligible to enrol).

Requirements

Master of Urban Planning and Design

Description

The Master of Urban Planning and Design, offered by the Department of Architecture is a project-based urban planning and design course which offers education for urban planners and is recognised by the Planning Institute of Australia. Working on urban projects based in real settings, the course integrates policy and research approaches with the process-oriented approaches of design as central methods for addressing the challenges facing planners in the twenty-first-century city.

Expanded methods for the planning professional

The role of planners is critical in developing effective, sustainable and equitable approaches to the complex urban issues facing cities around the world, such as rapid urbanisation and climate change. Planning education needs to adjust to meet these challenges; planners can no longer rely on traditional policy focused approaches and needs to develop expanded methods for understanding, critiquing and re-framing the contemporary and future city.

By foregrounding design process as an iterative method for developing problem-solving skills, planners can extend their techniques in researching, developing, testing and improving planning processes. Such an approach provides future planners with the necessary abilities to actively engage with a range of stakeholders in flexible ways that lead to clear directions and implementation plans.

Real-world projects in research settings

The course offers an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach that engages with the urban planning interests in the Department of Architecture as well as other research interests in Monash University, such as the Cooperative Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities, the Monash Sustainability Institute and the Monash Infrastructure Institute.

The focus of the project studios is on understanding the impacts around the growth and transformation of cities as we move through this century. As such, projects are themed around central issues for planners, such as the Compact City, the Ecological City, the Sprawling City and the Inclusive City. For instance, the Compact City project might develop integrated strategies for urban renewal transitions that address housing affordability, public transport, the walking and cycling opportunities, lower energy consumption and quality local amenities; the

Outcomes

These course outcomes are aligned with the Australian Qualifications Framework level 9 and Monash Graduate AttributesAustralian Qualifications Framework level 9 and Monash Graduate Attributes (http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/alignmentofoutcomes.html).

Upon successful completion of this course it is expected that you will be able to:

  1. understand, reflect critically upon, and proficiently apply the necessary skills to become a professional planner according to the requirements of the Planning Institute of Australia
  2. integrate relevant knowledge and skills to develop, appraise and evaluate planning solutions in complex urban contexts, sensitive to environmental, economic, governance, social and cultural considerations
  3. collaborate and communicate effectively in multi-disciplinary teams, demonstrating intercultural competence, team membership and leadership in diverse environments
  4. critically assess international planning discourses and practices, applying interdisciplinary research methods to contribute to advancing planning and urban design practice and knowledge
  5. apply critical judgment to situate research and urban planning practice in a wider context, to appropriately consider the impact on an international community.

Professional recognition

The Department of Architecture is in the process of seeking to meet the requirements for registration of this course as an accredited planning course of the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA). If successful, the qualification will be recognised for graduates to become members of the PIA.

Structure

The knowledge and skills required for professional recognition as a planner with the Planning Institute of Australia, will be integrated throughout the course structure, which comprises four project studio units, four stand alone complementary depth study units, two applied professional practice units and two open elective units.

Part A. Urban planning projects and study units

Planning projects

Cumulative, project-based learning is attached to real world settings and research projects that provide the framework/structure for the development of the conceptual, creative, analytical, critical, ethical and communication skills required by planning professionals and appropriate to postgraduate study. Working in multi-disciplinary groups on research projects, you will learn how to synthesise planning solutions within the constraints of a given project. Projects work across a range of spatial settings, allowing a broad exploration of issues and development of skills and knowledge.

The delivery of the project integrates lectures from leading academics and practitioners, workshops and seminars, field visits and examinations of case studies of projects, plans and policies used in cities around the world. In each project, students develop skills around applied knowledge that considers how the physical, social, cultural, economic and governance issues are all integrated. Ideas, concepts and outcomes of projects will be communicated through presentations, draft policies, plans and urban designs. You will be assessed through regular critiques of your work and through the final outcomes of written and visual work at the end of the semester.

The results of each project will become part of a compendium that collects and builds knowledge and expertise in the course. This compendium will be in effect a living document that compiles all of the theoretical, historical, propositional and final reports of the course.

Urban planning study

Complementary study units deepen knowledge areas and introduce you to the methods and approaches of urban planning research that engage with the multidisciplinary socio-cultural, political, economic, historical, theoretical and governance dimensions relevant to planning and urbanism. These units are run as lectures and seminars and are delivered in each semester. The study units incorporate literature and case study material that reflects on a wide range of approaches in Australia and internationally. This will ensure a relevance of material to students who come from or wish to work overseas.

Part B. Applied professional practices

In these studies you will focus on the generic capabilities and specific competencies that contribute to the practice of a quality urban planning professional, and the development of their abilities to work at a high level and in an ethical way in multi-disciplinary teams that address a range of complex issues in the city. Issues covered include the development and constant refining of skills in research, project management, spatial analysis, data collection and management, policy writing, plan-making and urban design, architectural plan-reading, and presentation and communication skills. The units include:

Part C. Free electives

These studies provide complementary depth units that enable students to tailor studies to individual interests. You can select units from either planning-specific advanced planning studies depth units or other units offered by the University. Free electives in which you are eligible to enrol can be chosen from across the Monash University faculties. In any given year a range of units relevant to urban planning (e.g. transport, architecture, sustainable development, economics, project management, indigenous perspectives, professional writing) will be available.

If you are interested in progressing to research training, an independent research project unit may be taken in place of the final elective unit. In this unit, you will conceptualise and present a final project work in the context of contemporary theory and practice.

Requirements

This course comprises 96 points structured into three parts: Part A. Urban planning projects and study units, Part B. Applied professional practices and Part C. Free electives.

Note: If you are able to provide evidence of successful completion of equivalent study for particular unit(s) you may be eligible for credit for prior studies. Each case will be considered individually.
