Timetables
Description of module content:

This module requires you to develop and model spatial solutions for human habitation in response to a project brief. In developing formal spatial proposals you are asked to consider key issues such as the definition of private space, defensible space, human ergonomics, spatial legibility, structure and materials, and the role of lighting in the creation of successful living environments. As directed by tutors, case studies will be presented and discussed in lectures and tutorials to support project-based studies.

Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Select a range of techniques to collect and analyse information about a given context, brief and appropriate spatial design precedents.

LO2: Describe rationales for sequential design development.

LO3: Utilise a problem solving approach to workable spatial design outcomes appropriate for human habitation.

LO4: Design & present living spaces, with consideration of human ergonomics.

LO5: Explain technological issues in relation to a design solution.

LO6: Explain theoretical issues in relation to a design solution.
