The project will allow you to develop, manage and achieve holistically the objectives of a design project. This Capstone will meaningfully build on prior experiences and capacities while also developing critical skills in evaluation of learning needs for a given scenario.

You will develop your skills and provide experience in the development and resolution of creative design solutions for complex client briefs. The client brief will be explored and resolved in Decoration and Design Studio 4. The focus is to develop a critical approach to a design solution, drawing on influences of design history, theory and practice. You will be required to synthesise and contextualise your ideas through a process of iteration and develop a design viewpoint to apply to a project brief.
You will explore the relationship between the client and the designer to determine clear objectives and approaches to the design brief. The context and site will inform the foundations for the development of your designs.
