SXD-152: Spatial Design 2

Design for the Contemporary Work Space This Design studio seeks to address further conceptual principles and focus on context and contextual issues. Students will generate design concepts for multi-level program requirements. The handling of circulation and spatial adjacencies and experience will be given prime consideration. Other issues such as lighting, proportion, construction, context, visibility, materiality, approach and visibility will be discussed. Brand - Image - Experience will be introduced and discussed in this studio. The course requires the students to arrive at their own relevant concept, to explore the design process, formulating an expressive solution to the design challenge. Solutions should echo through the material choices, colors, lighting, textures and furnishings and ultimately to the Experience. The process undertaken to arrive at a successful project will be stressed throughout the course through assignments, lectures and studio critiques.
