- Identify different design style of the 20th Century
- Have a basic understanding of architecture history
- Identify a few iconic architects of the past century and their work
Design Principles and Methodology
This subject introduces you to the fundamentals design principles. It provides you with the necessary theoretical knowledge of the role of designers in ever-changing design industry; and the practical skills required to apply the basic principles of aesthetics, ergonomics, balance, composition and colours in an interior setting.
Learning objectives - At the completion of this unit students should be able to:
- Understand the principles of design
- The colour chart
- Identifying various design styles and movements
- Lighting and mood
2D & 3D Studies
Form and space are the critical means of architecture that comprise a design vocabulary that is both elemental & timeless. The initial phase of any design process is the recognition of a problematic condition and the decision to find a solution to it. Thus, a designer must be able to recognize the basic elements of form and space and understand how they can be manipulated and organized in the development of a design concept, before addressing the more vital issue of meaning in interior design / architecture.
Learning objectives - At the completion of this unit students should be able to:
- Recognize the basic elements of form and space and understand how they can be manipulated and organized in the development of a design concept
Space, Design & Identity
Every design is unique; it is a representation of the individual designer's interpretation of the design brief & their site analysis. A design solution that works well in an urban environment may look out of place when put in a rural environment. Through project work, students will learn to analysis & interpret their chosen work site and to provide a design solution that speaks of that particular site, giving the design solution an identity of space.
Learning objectives - At the completion of this unit students should be able to:
- Analyze a given project site and document their findings
- Formulate their own design brief and proposed a suitable solution
- Provide a unique design solution that speak of identity
