This subject was previously known as Interior Design Studio - Workplace.
The aim of this design studio is to explore relevant theory to inform, translate and synthesise relevant aspects of human occupation in relation to a design proposition. The focus of this unit is on contemporary spatial typologies of work that are in significant transition catalysed by new technologies. Students consider future projections of occupation to generate a design proposition and project. Design prototyping and testing are to be done through digital fabrication and simulated environments. Site analysis is a component of this unit.
