XTD 105/205 - Reinvent Your Home

Introduction

For this  project we were to consider modern living and how we can use design to reinvent the way in which we inhabit and utilize a space. The project focused on the emotional and practical impact of design on the spaces we inhabit. The project was to fuse lifestyle, ergonomics, construction, specification, design communication and introducing the designers to legislative and professional factors of a design project to enable a comprehensive understanding of this industry sector. 

Project Aims
  • to provide the designers with the opportunity to explore a 3D pathway to inform their choices
  • to benefit from peer learning, fostering across year and across pathway team-work
  • to gain experience from all aspects of team-working including management, interpersonal skills, and communication
  • develop design awareness through an in-depth project chosen from a selection of topics
Learning Outcomes

  1. Observe, enquire, and critically assess the selected pathway through the selection and use of materials, processes, and environments. 
  2. Work effectively; develop organizational skills, demonstrating continued professional development, and developing a career path.
  3. Demonstrate interpersonal and social skills, by working in cross-year teams.
  4. Manage and work independently to link theory to practice, to conceptualize and then realize outcome. Develop aims to support career path. 
Design Brief

Using one of the different living space types create a brief for a fictitious or fact based client and then develop designs for that client to 'reinvent' the way in which they use and enjoy the space they inhabit. Proposals can involve redesign and modification of the building structures or focus on furniture/products within the spaces. The aim of the project is to develop a living environment that reflects the personality and lifestyle of the client and proposes innovative new ways of living.
