What Is IDE2 ?
- Course expands on the student's understanding of design processes and further explores how people inhabit, interact with and transform interior environments. Systematic approaches to interior design are investigated and applied to a range of design problems requiring interior solutions.
- Students learn to observe and interpret requirements and behavioural patterns and transform them into effective and creative spaces. Students are introduced to a design process using human-centred design methodologies, team based approaches and interdisciplinary approaches.
How could this benefit myself ?
- Understanding the interior design process as an architect
- learn to work well with designers
- lean new skills to carry into further studies and within the workforce.

Site Analysis Lecture
Why do we need them?
To gather information on the following points
- Location – where the site is situated
- Neighbourhood context –immediate surrounding of the site including data on zoning and buildings and other impacts on our project.
- Zoning and Size – dimensional considerations such as boundaries, easements, height restrictions, site area, access along with any further plans.
- Legal Information – ownership, restrictions or covenants, council related information, future urban development plans.
- Natural Physical Features – actual features of the site such as trees, rocks, topography, drainage patterns.
- Man-made Features – existing buildings, wallS, setbacks, materials, landscaping, scale.
- Circulation – Vehicle and pedestrian movements in, through and around the site. Consider the timing of these movements, and duration of heavier patterns.
- Utilities – Electricity, gas, water, sewer and telephone services that are situated in or near the site, along with distances, depths and materials.
- Climate – Rainfall, wind directions, temperatures, sun path, all considered during the different times of the year.
- Sensory – Visual, audible and tactile aspects of the site, such as views, noise, and so on. considered at different times of day.
- Human and cultural – Cultural, psychological, behavioural and sociological aspects of the surrounding neighbourhood. Activities and patterns, density, population ethnic patterns, employment, income, values and so on.
Additional point: ultimately understanding the site can help come up with informed design choices and create an emphasis on locality and what will work within the area.
