In Assessment 1, you will research a design issue framed by your specified / selected site or theme that lies within the scope and context of the project brief. You need to critically develop the given open-ended project brief by thoroughly researching, analysing and synthesising multiple contextual factors that relate to your site / theme. A detailed and personalized return-brief needs to be generated at an advanced and reflective level.

Your project research is to be summarized in 6 x A3 size posters, and a developed project brief (2 x A3 size posters). Refer to Moodle for the expanded brief.

You will have an informal pin-up session in Week 3 where you will discuss your work and receive feedback in studio group critiques and you will then submit your work online by Friday of Week 3.
