Overview

In this final studio unit, you will develop speculative designs that reimagine the spaces we inhabit in the future. Building on skills developed in previous studios, you will develop your own design speculation in response to one of the focused studio themes.

Your project will require you to demonstrate advanced research skills as you engage with complex issues around changing environmental, societal, and cultural landscapes in relation to spatial practice. You will develop your own methods of initiating, managing, developing, documenting and communicating your project.
