Year 4 design studio focuses on the agency of the interior within the context of the urban morphologies and civic typologies of the twenty-first century city. 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 24 week project development, mirroring the processes, products and dispositions of a professional design practice.
Civic Interiorscapes – Realisation incorporates the design development phase and reflective summary for the project. Using the design proposition developed in the semester 1 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 solution underpinned by design research.
