Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply the elements and principles of design to manipulate three dimensional (3D) interior space and form in response to a design brief. It involves the observation and analysis of a range of complex spatial typologies and a process of exploration and refinement to develop a design solution.This unit applies to individuals who design any type of interior space. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Evaluate interior spaces
  • 1.1 Observe and evaluate existing spatial relationships of objects against the design brief
  • 1.2 Observe and compare existing spatial typologies against the design brief
  • 1.3 Observe and evaluate existing spatial arrangements and organising systems against the design brief.
2. Manipulate 3D space and form
  • 2.1 Use the elements and principles of design to organise elements in 3D interior space based on the requirements of the brief
  • 2.2 Manipulate 3D space using principles related to colour, texture and light
  • 2.3 Explore spatial arrangements to satisfy brief requirements
  • 2.4 Explore scale, volume and proportion for 3D space and form to satisfy brief requirements
3. Resolve interior design problems
  • 3.1 Resolve interior space and interrelated design issues through the application of the elements and principles of design
  • 3.3 Evaluate design solution and further refine to satisfy brief requirements
  • 3.4 Communicate interior design solution using media that best suits the solution
  • 3.5 Explore and qualify feasibility of solution
  • 3.6 Review design solution and processes used to assess own skill and identify areas for improvement or modification
