Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
You should have satisfactorily completed the prerequisite course Structures, Systems, Materials ARCH1095 before you commence this course.
You may be able to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge before you start this course. Contact your course coordinator if you think you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning. For further information go to Recognition of prior learning (RPL) in Higher Education.
Course Description
This course focuses on investigating emergent, speculative and experimental techniques and technologies within the context of interior design practice. You will develop an individual approach through relevant and emergent technologies in response to a specific interior design project and context.
You are presented with a suite of different offerings and, through a preferencing system, ballot for your preferred choice.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:
- Conceptualise and engage in research through design as part of the creative process to open the potential for new understandings, experimentation and innovation.
- Use technology as an intrinsic part of the design process and have the ability to identify relevant techniques, skills, materials and technologies for specific designs.
- Understand and value your individual abilities and way of working as an interior designer; to initiate independent strategies and to develop a personal work ethic based on initiative and self-motivation. To contribute new understandings, to listen and continue to learn and to collaborate with others.
- Enter professional practice and/or postgraduate study with the ability and confidence to execute a project and/or piece of research with some independence, to collaborate with others, to contribute new understandings, to listen and continue to learn.
- Engage in research with an enhanced appreciation and understanding of theoretical, environmental, social, historical, cultural and technical contexts in relation to the activity of interior design and be able to engage and extend this knowledge through the practice of design.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
1. Demonstrate proficiency with technologies and techniques through the production and process of a designed outcome
2. Critically evaluate and demonstrate relevant techniques and technologies to develop and communicate interior design ideas, intentions and outcomes
3. Investigate, analyse and synthesise technical sources required for the practice and realisation of a design project.
4. Demonstrate critical reflection and evaluation of the project's social, cultural, environmental and technological aspects.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will participate in a range of learning activities focused around drawing, model making and material investigation.
In-class activities will include lectures, presentations, group and individual tutorials, group discussions, peer-to-peer critiques, student presentations and studio workshops and laboratories. Other activities may include excursions and site visits.
The range of learning activities will contribute to the development of a diversity of approaches to design practice in a number of different scenarios.
Overview of Learning Resources
You will identify the learning resources specific to your own interests in conjunction with your tutors. These may include readings, critical study of precedents, and further refinement of the communication, workshop, and other skills that you have acquired in the previous levels of the course. RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems.
It is advisable that you have a personal computer of an appropriate specification.
