2022 DESIGN STUDIO OVERVIEW – 86004 – ASSESSMENT 3 THEME: THEORIES OF SPACE
KEY IDEAS: Topoanalysis, theories of space, analog, wearable design, performative intervention, non-‐places, design as research, fieldwork, hypothetical design intervention.
KEY SKILLS: Site analysis, applying theories of space, design methods (design thinking, sketching, translation and iteration), model making, ergonomics and human factors, introduction to performance activities, documentation methods (measured drawing, model making, photography and video), presentation drawings.
SUMMARY: The aim of this studio is to introduce students to core principles, theories and methods of Interior Architecture (IA) at UTS. The purpose of which is to educate students on foundational skills and knowledge that will be applied for the rest of their degree and in their future profession careers. This includes students developing a detailed understanding of site and theories of space in IA via site analysis. It will continue by developing student’s understanding of materials, model making, ergonomics and human factors through the construction of a wearable analog. Students will then be introduced to the core IA principles of performative space and urban interior through performance intervention of Sydney’s non-‐places. Further, students will gain an understanding of the role of design propositions as research, cultural commentary, design methods, presentation and critique procedures through the development of a hypothetical design intervention. Finally, students will gain an understanding of the core history and theories of IA via a lecture series and applied assessment.
