Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to successfully use a range modelling techniques for extending, developing and resolving complex spatial design problems.
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 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 computer aided design 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
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Spatial problems
may include but not be limited to voids, apertures, thresholds, atriums, vertical and horizontal circulation systems, public spaces, multi-level spaces, mezzanines, transitional spaces, staircases and ceiling planes
Design elements and principles
may include but not be limited to balance, similarity, texture, contrast, size, ground, volume, composition, orientation, form, structure, 2-D space, position, proportion, 3-D space, repetition, scale, line, rhythm, pattern, point, symmetry, tone and plane

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Use, apply and experiment with modelling techniques to explore a design solution
Apply individual creativity to modelling
Fully resolve a final design solution using modelling techniques
Apply design elements and principles to models
Communicate design ideas through development of models
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements
The following resources should be made available:
workplace location or simulated workplace
materials and equipment relevant to resolving complex spatial design problems through modelling
specifications and work instructions
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application
Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
