The aim of the module is for the students to apply, develop and enhance knowledge and skills gained at Level I and Level II modules. Students will engage with the iterative process of design through exercises which will interpret client and context information, evaluate feasibility & produce appropriately designed solutions. This will include spatial design and planning; the application of design methods and processes, creativity and inspiration; the selection of appropriate hard & soft materials and the skills of graphic presentation & communication.
