Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
You should have satisfactorily completed the pre-requisite course Interior Design Studio 1 ARCH1093 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. For further information go to Recognition of prior learning (RPL) in Higher Education.
Course Description
This course will enable you to extend your interior design knowledge through a range of projects that aim to develop your conceptual thinking and design techniques and processes.
In response to a series of projects, you will be challenged to develop your interior design thinking and develop knowledge through design exploration and experimentation
Project briefs will provide a structure for exploring contemporary concerns to allow you to develop your conceptual thinking, communication and technical abilities.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Program Learning Outcomes
In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:
- Work in diverse contexts and be able to identify and address complex design problems with initiative and advanced knowledge to produce innovative interior design outcomes.
- Conceptualise and engage in research through design as part of the creative process to open the potential for new understandings, experimentation and innovation.
- Communicate your ideas and designs verbally, visually and textually through a range of media to your peers as well as professional, academic and public audiences.
- Reflect, analyse, synthesise, critique and evaluate your own work as well that of your peers and apply your knowledge and skills with initiative and insight in professional practice and/or scholarship.
- Engage in research with an enhanced appreciation and understanding of theoretical, environmental, social, historical, cultural and technical contexts in relation to the activity of interior design and be able to engage and extend this knowledge through the practice of design.
- Use technology as an intrinsic part of the design process and have the ability to identify relevant techniques, skills, materials and technologies for specific designs.
- Understand and value your individual abilities and way of working as an interior designer; to initiate independent strategies together with the ability to plan and time manage projects; to develop a personal work ethic based on initiative and self-motivation
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
1. Demonstrate conceptual thinking
2. Apply a range of relevant communication techniques
3. Demonstrate relevant use of technologies
4. Demonstrate design research and process
5. Demonstrate awareness towards environmental, social, cultural and technological concerns within the context of a design project.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will participate in a range of learning activities which will contribute to the building of a diversity of approaches to design practice in a number of different scenarios. In-class activities will include lectures, presentations, group and individual tutorials, group discussions, peer-to-peer critiques, student presentations and studio workshops. Other activities may include excursions to exhibitions and site visits.
Overview of Learning Resources
You will identify the learning resources specific to your own interests in conjunction with your tutors. These may include readings, critical study of precedents, and further refinement of the communication, workshop, and other skills that you have acquired in the previous levels of the course.
