Module Synopsis

The module emphasizes on establishing concept and programming in the design proposal. Students are introduced to an experimental concept in space with the application of space programming, managing design framework in design process and executing works till completion. Other than that, site inventory and precedent studies will also be introduced in the module. The module is supported by a combination of online lectures and fieldwork sessions. Students will be challenged to consider and develop strategies related to personal design philosophy, brand, manufacturer, materials and processes, construction and technology, ergonomics and lighting in producing a resolved interior design solution. Students will also be exposed to how this module helps them understand the impact that can be made via the relevant United National Sustainable Development Goals (SDG9-Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure).

 

The learning and teaching approach for the module will be studio-based, with students engaging with practical tasks during the studio sessions and presenting their ideas and thoughts within the group. There are two types of assessment applied: formative, and summative. For the formative assessment, regular review and progressive feedback conducted during the critiques session to provide feedback on students’ conceptual ideas / design strategy and its development into a design scheme, and development and resolution of design. Furthermore, students to communicate their design ideas and works through drawings and mock-up models in an effective and expressive manner, using the architectural drawings convention. For the summative assessment, assessment rubric will be used as a set of standards or expectations.
