| Course description | The culmination of the programme demands a refined and self critical response from the student not only to reflect on a generated body of work, but more essentially identify the strands of thematic content and practice based work to be carried into early career practice. This seeks to establish connections between reflection, practice and planning that informs an advancement beyond the programme, calling for the student to present an autonomous disciplinary position.
Aims:
To provide an opportunity to pursue a specific theoretical and organisational issue of interest for advanced analysis, research and practice;
To complete a critical review that creatively contextualises the student's body of practice-led investigations and the genesis of outcomes;
Demonstrate highly advanced critical awareness based on the development of distinct personal viewpoints and signature approach to site informed projects of high level of complexity.
Mode of delivery:
Individual mentoring, guest critics |
