CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
valid for whole curriculum period:
As students, we spend most of our time in designing, creating interesting spaces and atmospheres. However, sometimes we need to put things in practice so we can look at the general picture of a project and understand the process behind it.
This course will simulate a real spatial design project: receiving a job announcement from a potential client, presenting your design company and making an offer, creating a design concept to sell your idea, developing the project documentation (architectural or spatial plans, lightning and furniture principles, materiality and the general budget. The goal is to create a complete project folder for implementation. The aim of the course is to get a better idea of what a spatial design project really is, learn to make smarter design decisions and understand your profession better.
