Using the design proposition developed in the Investigation phase, students will then work on detailed design development and resolution of a number of key spaces and elements within the scheme, incorporating work from all phases in a final presentation. The outcome from this studio is a rigorous, inventive and professional design proposal which includes documentation of design research, design process and the developed design.Read More

As the culminating student experience of the BIA, the studios will act as an environment in which the knowledge and skills acquired over the previous 3 years can be synthesised, refined and communicated with proficiency, over a 20 week project development, mirroring the processes, products and dispositions of a professional design practice.Design Practice 7 - Propose incorporates a research phase and its translation into a design proposition. The research phase will comprise of site, heritage and context analysis, which will inform the development of the student’s brief for the project in the form of a Design Research Report and Project Brief. Using the report and brief as the research underpinning, students will then propose an initial design response in the form of a primary spatial move. The outcome from this studio is the design research, design brief and design proposition that will form the basis of the final design studio, Design Practice 8 – Resolve.Read More

This course focuses on interior space as a site of consumption. The role of interior architecture as a strategy of communication, mediation and engagement will be explored through an historical, cultural and theoretical investigation of a range of typologies including retail and hospitality.

This course sets the foundation for thinking about interior space within historical, cultural and theoretical contexts. Students will be introduced to methods of research, analysis, interpretation and documentation within the context of academic conventions and in relation to the development of design propositions.

This course focuses on the translation of Interior architectural research, thinking and ideas through multiple and iterative design practices. Design language and elements of spatial dynamics, including spatial and material relationships and sequence in relation to multiple forms of occupation, including retail and hospitality typologies are a focus of this … For more content click the Read More button below.This course focuses on the translation of Interior architectural research, thinking and ideas through multiple and iterative design practices. Design language and elements of spatial dynamics, including spatial and material relationships and sequence in relation to multiple forms of occupation, including retail and hospitality typologies are a focus of this studio. Emphasis is placed on an expansive approach to spatial translation underpinned by thoughtful and self-reflective research.
