Handbook

This course requires you to generate a rigorous, detailed and theoretically based design project proposal, brief and schematic design for development in Design Studio 6. Applied research, investigation and reflection on the nature of contemporary design practice will inform this self-initiated project. The project will be positioned in a real context and provide you with further experience of the multi-disciplinary nature of design. It will be developed in conjunction with selected professionals and/or with a client who presents a real-life design problem. The design proposals must address complex contextual issues and fully address the constraints of the brief. You will work collaboratively in studio to develop a peer mentoring culture through critique and evaluation.
