This unit introduces foundational principles and elements of spatial design, focusing on space and scale.   Informed by essential design theories, methods, and processes, you will explore how space and scale apply in the distinct but related fields of architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design.  You will use your creative imagination, research and study existing designs for inspiration, and think critically to formulate and refine your design ideas. This includes experimenting with the qualities of space and form.  Learning in this unit is project-based, involving collaboration with peers and supported by lectures, readings, practical exercises, and formative reviews in the fabrication workshop and design studios. Summative presentations occur at the end of each assessment.  You will be introduced to professional knowledge that aligns with item 18 of the AACA national competencies for Architects.
