Synopsis
Students taking this unit will extend and explore transformational practices in spatial design with an intermediate level of complexity. Two fundamental modules will be explored: the first will be the integrate learning and the second will introduce students to the construction and fabrication of inhabited environments.
In the first module students will focus on responsive design practices. In the second module the conventions for documentation of project proposals, and communication with other building industry professionals will form important elements of the unit.
Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
- Respond creatively to design briefs of increasing complexity;
- Investigate relevant concepts and precedents in design discourse and incorporate these into design proposals;
- Demonstrate the resolution of competing needs during the development of a design proposal;
- Understand and identify the construction and servicing of spatial design projects and the relevant service principle underpinning these;
- Independently explore and communicate design schemes and strategies through appropriate modes of representation;
- Understand and apply the rules of occupational health and safety appropriate to the discipline practice.
