86023 Light, New Materials and Form

Light, materials, form and space are the primary elements that create and define human environments. Through the manipulation and enhancement of these elements the human experience can be shifted, elevated, orientated and guided. Students explore the effects that various spatial and elemental forms, lighting, colour and materials can have on the experience and interpretation of an interior space. The subject encourages students to undertake creative investigation of the way emerging materials and systems, form-making, and lighting, can question the standard approaches to design outcomes.
