Design Communication introduces students to fundamental modes of communication that are used to comprehend, conceive, explore, articulate and document built environments. It covers the domains of sketching, technical drawing, model making (physical and digital), visual, verbal and written communication, diagramming and photography. The unit both familiarises students with necessary technical skills and encourages their creative deployment through practical experimentation. Students will gain a range of fundamental sketching, drawing, and modelling skills. This Unit explores the roles that analogue and digital communication techniques play in contemporary thinking for built environments. Throughout the semester, students are asked to develop and explore a built environment design idea through representation in various media and switching media from iteration to iteration. This unit will also introduce students to the concept and methods of development of a design portfolio in a built environment.
