About the course
Introduction to Spatial Design is an intensive course held over five days and provides an experiential snapshot of the design studio and spatial design thinking required for built environment disciplines such as landscape architecture and urban design. Zoodada introduces abstraction as a design tool, employing various modes as filters or ‘design machines’ to learn how to communicate and represent what we see and experience in our environment in an architectural language. This course is a whirlwind introduction to spatial design. The design process from site to programme to design development and production, is condensed into one week. The value of this course is its connection to a tangible site through which both technical and creative spatial design skills are explored and developed.
Course Content
- Form generation: form theory as well as practical prototyping, emergent forms and strategies for spatial organisation.
- Place: introduces context and genius loci and engages in topographical manipulation of a site.
- Site analysis: involves a practical session of measuring, drawing and reconstructing a site through plan, section, elevation and models.
- Programme: students develop a brief and programme for design as well as input from examples of theory and precedent.
- Design production and process: students engage in a process of design development and production of design through plan, section, elevation, 3D perspectives and models.
- Representation: throughout the course students are exposed to various ways of representing and communicating spatial design ideas and narratives, including the curation of a body of work.
