Interior Architecture Practice 1

This subject was previously known as Architecture Design 2.This subject explores the sense of place and the notion of inhabitation. It explores the built environment as a representation of collective values, investigates the relationship between ideas, human body and built form, and develops an understanding of primary components of space, form, structure and materials. It refers to and uses communication methods taught concurrently in other subjects. This subject requires students to create new structures for inhabitation at a personal scale that engage well with a given landscape, including solar, wind and sound. Work Integrated Learning is incorporated through the design of projects on a real site.Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’.

Build on your understanding of the primary architectural components: space, form, structure and materials. Engage in a reflective and iterative design process to create a new living space that reflects your ideas and complements its surroundings.

Architecture and Interior Architecture Design Studio 1 - Small Structures

This subject was previously known as BIA270 Interior Architecture Contexts.This interdisciplinary subject explores and debates significant art and design movements across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the broader context of significant world events affecting social, political, technological, and economical developments, including indigenous perspectives. The effects of these movements on the shaping and making of the interior is considered at both local and international levels, in particular by deconstructing key methods and processes of design practice.Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’.

Discover the intricacies and challenges of creating a representation of space, form and structure. Use techniques including rendering, digital collage and hand-drawing. Put your design process into practice with Work Integrated Learning.

This subject was previously known as Architecture Methods 1.This subject introduces students to ways in which designers communicate aspects of the built environment through the exploration of a design problem. The emphasis is on the importance of the visualisation of concepts for a sketch design and design development. The syllabus includes introduction and application of scale and analogue techniques, including observation, hand drawn sketching, diagramming, and orthographic projection and modelling techniques.Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’.
