| Summary | This course focuses on the challenges of designing an interior intervention into an existing building over multiple floors. |
| Course description |
Using an existing medium-size multi-storey space, students will be asked to analyse, and redesign this space for a new function. They will be expected to establish a brief in order to respond to the potential client¿s needs.
Students will prepare scheme design proposals in sketch and exploratory model form for discussion. During this iterative process they will prepare final proposals in drawing form, to scale, for submission.
