Objectives
To develop independent decision making and an holistic
appreciation of the role of the designer.
Content
Projects will be designed specifically to introduce complex
issues which will challenge the student to investigate beyond
the literal translation of the brief and begin to dissect the
brief. Through the application of skills already learned and
the confidence gained through previous practical and
theoretical work, the student will be encouraged to expand
their understanding of the development of ideas and apply
their skills to assigned projects. The student will be expected
to present concise information supported by researched
material relevant to the project and to develop ideas from a
rational research base. The use of models to demonstrate the
concept will be required.
