Interior Design 5

In Design Studio 5, the conceptual proposals developed in DS4 are tested through their studio project application. Challenged with creating a design solution in an environment that simulates on-site conditions, the design student will appraise the viability of their DS4 proposals and implement these concepts using a relevant range of materials, processes and techniques. In resolving the practical, statutory, aesthetic and physical challenges encountered, the learner will utilises the relevant and diverse skills and knowledge acquired to date. Documentation of all stages of testing from concepts to material exploration through to spatial organisation and exhibition will be presented for assessment. This will be in both physical form and an e-portfolio.
