Overview
In this unit you will engage with the social aspects and collaborative processes of design. Two fundamental modules will be explored: key observation and representation skills for design development and communication; and the physical and qualitative properties of common spatial practice materials.
In the first module you will focus on the social, cultural and physical contexts of spatial design practice. In the second module the projects will focus on the development of observation and analytical skills to support the investigation of these properties, and the potential for their application in design.
