Overview
This unit offers a project-based approach to extend and deepen research and design strategies for spatial design. You will focus on ecological issues within Australia and through research, address their interconnectedness with other issues. The unit is structured into two parts: research methods and visual representations of research; and contextualisation of the research through design with intermediate complexity. This unit will help you to move into the 3rd year for more complex and sophisticated design projects.
