Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Required Prior Study
You should have satisfactorily completed your Year One courses before you commence this course.
Alternatively, you may be able to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge before you start this course.
Contact your course coordinator if you think you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning.
Course Description
This course introduces fundamental theoretical ideas, elements, principles and practices within the design discipline of spatial design. You and your peers will have the opportunity to learn the basics of spatial design thinking and making through different theoretical and analytical lenses relating to space, site, stakeholders and experience.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
The course supports your development in the following Program Learning Outcomes:
PLO1 Critically review, analyse, consolidate and synthesise knowledge from the history of design, and adapt this knowledge to diverse social, ethical and cultural contexts.
PLO2 Critically review, analyse, consolidate and synthesise knowledge of diverse design theories, concepts and approaches, and adapt this knowledge to local and international contexts.
PLO8 Develop responsibility and accountability for development of a personal design practice that demonstrates an original, ethical, innovative and professional approach to design.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
CLO 1 Identify a range of different typologies within the domain of spatial concepts
CLO2 Analyse and apply fundamental elements and principles of spatial design to design thinking
CLO3 Understand and apply a range of different mediums applicable to spatial design thinking and communication and to provide evidence of your personal development of Spatial design
CLO4 Engage in a range of techniques to incorporate the perspectives of diverse stakeholders in a spatial design process.
CLO 5 Understand and apply fundamental principles of site analysis
CLO 6 Develop and present a professional design proposal, drawing from a range of different appropriate inputs in the domain of spatial concepts
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be required to engage in a range of different activities central to exploring and documenting the fundamentals of spatial design thinking and practice. The intention of the learning activities is to allow students the opportunity to explore, experiment and engage with deeper theoretical spatial design thinking and visual communication. Learning activities support active participation in discussion, debate, critical peer review as an iterative, recurring and continuous process of development.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT University will provide you with a range of resources and tools to engage in this course, including studio and workshop facilities, online systems and professional equipment. A selected range of supplies are available, as well as support from technical staff. You will also have access to a wide range of online resources through RMIT Vietnam University Library.
Overview of Assessment
You will be assessed on how well you meet the course Learning Outcomes and on your development against the Program Learning Outcomes. Assessment may include projects, critiques, reports, journals, and/or presentations individually or in groups.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment Task 1: Research project, 50% CLOs 1, 2 & 3.
Assessment Task 2: Research project, 50% CLOs 4, 5 & 6.
Feedback will be given on all assessment tasks.
If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.
Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies, procedures and instructions.
