support chosen solutions. This semester will concentrate on a
developed use of professional presentation techniques,
demonstration of an understanding of the integration of the
technical and professional skills and draw on a sophisticated
use of mockups to communicate ideas. The student will be
expected to conduct research to establish a basis for
resolution. The projects in this semester will be small scale.

Subject aim
To raise students level of inquiry and evaluation of design and
its consequences.
Subject description
Case studies, seminars and discussions will analyse the effects
of design on topics including:
their own and other's work
the environment and material selection
