Description

Students are introduced to 3D design as a 360-degree physical and tactile experience. Students will explore the way people move through designed environments such as department stores, exhibition stands, and restaurants; how complex floor plans, layouts, and models are created; and the design requirements of 3D spaces such as entrances and exits, pathways, and directional movement. This unit also explores the importance of functionality while maintaining design cohesiveness and visual integrity. Students will design for specific audiences and will learn to consider the needs of individuals. Sustainable design practices are also considered in this unit.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Create designs (including floor plans, layouts and scale models) which meet functional specifications and regulatory requirements.
  2. Describe the legal, aesthetic and functional issues associated with designing for small to medium sized 3D spaces including universal access issues.
  3. Produce cohesive and visually integrated functional designs.
  4. Solve problems associated with creating designs for spaces with pre-existing constraints.

Unit Content

  1. Creating complex floor plans, layouts, and models.
  2. Creating habitable spaces.
  3. Entrances and exits, pathways, and directional movement.
  4. Functional design and aesthetic integrity.
  5. Legal, aesthetic and functional issues.
  6. Strategic positioning of individual design components.
  7. The creation of a designed space.
  8. Users needs and wants.
