| DESCRIPTION | Study-unit Aims: - Introduce basic tools in the Design Process, including Site Evaluation, Preparation of a Brief, User Requirements, Ergonomics, Building Typologies; - Apply basic design tools to generate two-dimensional and three-dimensional design compositions. Learning Outcomes: - The ability to gather all relevant design information, in a clear and systematic manner, to prepare the basis of a valid design concept; - The ability to search for cues within the specific context of a design problem, going beyond the first impressions of a site, to develop meaningful design concepts. Skills: - Ability to prepare an evaluation of the characteristics of a Site, as relevant to the preparation of a design; - Ability to synthesize user requirements, site characteristics, and other issues to prepare design Brief; - Apply standard design tools to basic design problems.
