MPI118 Design and Production (8)

This subject utilises practice-based education principles of situated authentic learning and reflective practice. It engages students in the process of designing and creating various outputs in creative and performing arts. Students are introduced to a range of roles and responsibilities in environmental design, including computer aided design (CAD) skills and drawing for a range of spatial design outcomes. Students undertake projects through the use of designer-led approaches to the analysis, visualisation and construction of environments, and undertake projects responding to site-specific contextual needs.
