| Course description |
Students will be given an existing single storey space to analyse and draw to scale. They will be expected to establish a brief in order to respond to a specific client's needs and the limitations and possibilities presented by the space.
Students will prepare outline proposals in sketch and other communicative form for discussion. Further to an iterative design process they will prepare final proposals in drawing form to scale, for consideration by staff.
Students will gain a basic understanding of interior alteration of an existing space, and develop ideas based on the requirements of other people.
