Description

This unit of competency covers extending, developing and resolving complex spatial design problems to develop and refine a conceptual model and inform design work through experimentation with a range of spatial modelling techniques. It includes managing and organising resource requirements for new work and realising a fully resolved interior scheme through modelling.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Notes

Elements and Performance Criteria

1 Adapt and develop concepts as a result of design research

1.1 Criteria are established that are most likely to facilitate the achievement of the conceptual vision
1.2 Consultation is conducted with colleagues to develop conceptual thinking approaches
1.3 A range of spatial problems are examined to determine suitable approaches
1.4 Relevant ideas and approaches are researched, adapted and incorporated from other practitioners

2 Visualise design concepts using a range of modelling techniques

2.1 Capabilities of a range of 2-D conceptual notions are extended through 3-D modelling
2.2 The conceptual vision is refined based on ongoing experimentation using sophisticated modelling techniques
2.3 A sophisticated concept model appropriate to the brief is presented to the client and feedback evaluated

3 Manage and organise resource requirements for new work

3.1 Materials, tools, equipment and computer-aided design (CAD) applications are researched for the achievement of different 3-D effects
3.2 Resource requirements that arise from the use of techniques and experimental approaches are determined and organised for new work
3.3 Critical path is determined, projecting completion dates of each stage of the project

4 Develop extend and resolve spatial ideas through modelling

4.1 Experimentation is undertaken with a range of modelling techniques to explore and develop complex 3-D notions
4.2 Design elements and principles are applied and manipulated to assist in design development
4.3 Scale, volume and proportion are explored and manipulated as part of a design development process
4.4 A range of models are developed by hand or using CAD applications to revise and refine spatial ideas

5 Present a fully resolved interior space using sophisticated modelling techniques

5.1 Modelling technique is selected to meet the established criteria
5.2 Appropriate scale is selected to meet brief criteria
5.3 Resolved spatial ideas are accurately represented to scale
5.4 Materials and textures are accurately represented to scale
5.5 Construction, detailing and finishes are resolved and demonstrated through sophisticated modelling
5.6 Detailed model is presented to client and feedback evaluated
