This subject introduces the student to the relationship between spaces and the behaviour they are designed to contain. Using a cross-disciplinary approach, ideas and methods from the fields of sociology, psychology and anthropology are used to develop the student's awareness of the interaction between people and their environment. The topics explored in this course suggest that this interaction can be both positive (e.g. high visit rates) as well as negative (vandalism). This course also seeks to establish the conceptual limits relating to behaviour within which designers must operate in professional practice. Through a series of lectures, studios, and tutorials, the student researches, studies and undertakes projects to acquire a comprehensive understanding of the central principles of spatial manipulation and its relationship to human behaviour.
