Overview
In this unit you will engage with experiential and functional qualities of space. Two projects will explore the key concept of inhabitation for both human and non-human beings. You will be introduced to design methods such as site analysis, observation, conceptual model making, and iterative design processes. You will develop representation and communication skills through a combination of digital and hand-based drawing and modelling techniques, as well as verbal presentations.
