Introductory Design Studio

What it covers

The unit introduces students to fundamental approaches to generating form and to the principles which inform design decisions. Students work across two-dimensional and three-dimensional representation methods, using a range of materials and fabrication techniques at different scales as they generate concepts and communicate outcomes. Through project-based, experiential learning in tandem with theoretical presentation of fundamental techniques and principles, students will gain the ability to analyse and articulate design principles, materials and relationships through their work. As the unit introduces students to workshop techniques, an induction to workshop occupational health and safety protocols is a required component of the unit.
