Undergraduate

This subject introduces students to the specialised area of exhibition design, in particular the theoretical frameworks that underpin the design. The multi-disciplinary activity of exhibition design is reflected in the variety of students that could take this subject. A series of lectures, workshops, site visits, guest speakers, case studies and assignments explore the breadth of issues and concerns that are involved in the strategies, conceptual structures and understanding of exhibition design. The areas of study that are discussed include: historical case studies; the role of the institution in which the exhibition will be housed; conservation in relationship to context, didactic design strategies, and interpretive design strategies. Small-scale projects test the understanding of the key factors expressed in the lectures on exhibition design theory. A high level of competency in the communication areas of orthographic drawing, and 3D representation is required by the student prior to entering the subject.
