| Summary | This course further defines and reinforces developing interior design skills relating to adaptation and reuse of existing buildings. |
| Course description |
Students will be given an existing building to investigate in relation to its location in the immediate built environment and within the wider city context. They will be expected to research its historic background, as well as analyse, measure and draw it to scale.
They will be provided with a Brief requiring a change of use of the building which challenges the existing layout and fabric (for example transformation of an open plan space like a gallery into cellular accommodation such as a hotel).
Students will prepare outline proposals in sketch or other communicative form for discussion and reflection. During an iterative process they will prepare final project proposals including plans and sections of proposals, simple materials specification, more detailed information for a particular element of the proposals in drawing and/or model form to scale.
