This course is designed to integrate all aspects of technology and design previously studied. The program builds upon that knowledge to consider the building holistically. It aims to provide the students: (1) an introduction to the design process and design methodologies; (2) an understanding of the principal factors which influence the design of accommodating and an appraisal of the built environment; (3) an understanding of models of design process; design thinking; aesthetic and visual considerations; and other building design knowledge; and (4) an understanding to determine the building performance in respect of design, construction and statutory requirements by critically evaluating their interaction.
