Design projects will be undertaken that enhance your ability to integrate creative design processes, design innovation, and digital communication techniques. During this module you will be able to select from a range of design briefs, which will build upon previous experiences and support the identification and personal selection of a developed design focus in preparation for subsequent modules / placement activity.

Learning Strategy

You will be introduced to the module through a series of lectures, digital workshops, seminars and field visits. Following selection from a range of industry focussed briefs, practical design experience (learning by doing) will be obtained through student-centred and supervised, studio-based project work. You will be tutored on a personal … For more content click the Read More button below.

You will be tutored on a personal basis and through a series of group seminars, tutorials and CAD workshops. Regular formative feedback will be given to you during regular formal and informal reviews at which you will be required to give verbal and visual presentations of your work. Guided independent study is expected where preparation for scheduled lessons, follow-up work, wider reading or practice, completion of assessment tasks is required.

Outline Syllabus

The module will contain a number of projects from which to choose, and will include a focus towards research around audience and client expectations and needs, competitiveness, social and ethical considerations and the identification of design criteria. Design work will continue to develop design exploration studies, in both 2D and … For more content click the Read More button below. You will identify an appropriate use for a specified building (or structure) and undertake appropriate research studies to support initial concept proposals followed by a digital design package of information. Work undertaken in this module will require presentations to be made digitally, verbally and visually.
