    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.
