Syllabus: The internal forces that underpin directly or indirectly the research, design and building of the interior. Students are encouraged to think critically and to take a speculative approach to the implications of such internal forces relative to their research and/or creative practice. Students are introduced to internal forces that impact and are integral to Interior Architecture. Social Sustainability, Social Justice, Cultural Heritage and Community Engagement will be fore-grounded and integrated with professional practice and ethics. The unit will focus on ways of approaching issues or situations that emphasise experimentation. New methods of seeing, thinking and doing are fore-grounded, and students are encouraged to push beyond what is known. Students will be encouraged to envisage new methods, processes, technologies and/or scenarios to provide challenging insights and/or outcomes for future contexts. Emphasis is given to peer mentoring and self-directed learning.
