| Summary | This course will challenge the students to develop a project brief within a complex and/or multi-functional space/site or series of spaces. Throughout the design process students will be required to rigorously test out proposals and reflect critically on their decision making process. |
| Course description |
The course will focus on an existing/historic site and students will be required to carry out detailed research and analysis into past and present use to provide a clear rationale in consideration of the new function.
Research will include contextual site analysis to provide a shared resource for the duration of the project to include site data and drawings, alongside rigorous exploration of the relevant sector.
Students will practice autonomy, defining their own precise brief, to determine an appropriate rationale for the interior and its users.
Students will learn how to demonstrate competence in large-scale planning, spatial layout, and (vertical) circulation, making connections in and between spaces.
They will deliver a comprehensive package of work, to include concept sketches and exploratory models as evidence of their design process. Final proposals will include a detailed set of technical drawings and 3D visuals, with a strong focus on section and three-dimensional spatial understanding.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Evaluate and respond to a body of research, drawing on a wide range of sources to formulate appropriate design responses.
- Demonstrate a critical awareness of three-dimensional design, through structured and transparent processes and methodologies, which begin to position your own practice.
- Realise Interior Design project solutions in drawn and model form, using a range of techniques and advanced skills.
