Handbook

This subject focuses on the concept and development of a major design project that is self-directed and encapsulates the design knowledge and professional expertise gained through the student’s program of study. Students are expected to engage with a design methodology that includes research, the design proposal and reflective report, articulation and critical analysis of design concepts and project design brief and schemata. The subject prepares the students for the challenges inherent in the transition to industry practice by positioning them as successful independent learners, problem solvers, and effective communicators. Students are expected to participate in a series of advanced professional and thematic seminars exploring dimensions of design practice that run parallel to their creative design work.
