Course Description

 This unit of competency covers applying researched information to formulate creative and complex design solutions to a range of small to medium scale commercial or institutional interior design situations satisfying the physiological, psychological, social, cultural and environmental requirements of the brief.
Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking interior decoration and design work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).

Details of Learning Activities

 

The student learning experience will be facilitated by participation in the following activities.

In class activities will include:

  • Lectures
  • Guest speakers
  • Peer teaching and class pesentations
  • Group discussions ,peer review and feedback sessions
  • Teacher directed group activities and projects
  • Class exercises to review discussions in lectures
  • Workshopping of students projects
  • Analysis and critique of relevant reading material

Out of class activities will include :

Self-directed Learning

Some activites will include a self-directed learning approach, self directed learning refers to organised activities that students undertake independently, either as individuals or with other students that are supervised by a teacher. This may include workplace research, library assignments field trips and work placements.


Teaching Schedule

This course is delivered and assessed in conjunction with BSBDES502A Establish a Design Brief which focuses on the skills and knowledge required to work pro-actively with a client or commissioning organisation to develop and negotiate a design brief.

Please note: While your teacher will cover all the material in this schedule, the weekly order is subject to change depending on class needs and availability of speakers and resources.
