Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
Students will explore the ways people move through and behave in designed environments such as retail spaces, exhibition stands, restaurants and public settings; how complex floor plans, layouts, models and environmental graphics are created; and the design requirements of 3D spaces such as inclusive design for entrances and exits, pathways, and directional movement. This unit 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. Complex issues and sustainable design practices are key considerations in this unit.
Students must pass unit TDD2214 before being allowed to enrol in the this unit.
Previously coded TDD3205
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Lectures introduce students to concepts and theories surrounding public design. Tutorials consist of students applying theories to develop design concepts that will be derived from substantial design research into public needs. When appropriate and available, students will be working with a real design problem in an actual public setting. This real world learning approach allows students to learn about complexity involved in designing for the broader communities and public.
