This course offers you the opportunity to develop and manage an individual programme of enquiry and creative development in environment design, culminating in the realisation of a final major project informed by professional and industrial contexts.
New technology offers new possibilities for the creative process in designing environments and for the nature of those environments themselves. The course encourages you to take full advantage of the possibilities of digital imaging and prototyping techniques.
During the course, you will engage in cycles of creative experimentation followed by rigorous critical analysis. These are supported through technical, user, and interaction workshops based upon strategies deployed by leading practitioners within the field.
Through case studies, you are encouraged to engage with advanced practice within a global context and explore the similarities, key differences, and emphases of different centres across the world, and will put your learning and design solutions into context.
The course’s place within a suite of postgraduate courses focused on design and communication media will allow you to explore the possibilities inherent within a collaborative design process.
