This course assesses the student's ability to process the information and knowledge gained from previous courses and applies it to one comprehensive residential project. This course is an examination of the student's ability to solve a given design problem and as such it is designed to be self-directed. Students will receive guidance; however, they are expected to arrive at their own design solutions. Students will prepare and present a comprehensive design solution for a multi-level residential interior. Projects must display viability and originality of concept, layouts, and design through innovative presentation techniques. Students will demonstrate their 2D AutoCAD skills and have the option to use their freehand or SketchUp skills for any 3D components in their final submission.
Registered students MUST attend the first day of class. Note: If this is your third time taking the course, permission must be obtained by the Program Head at INTD_PTS_PH@bcit.ca, prior to registering. Prerequisites are Mandatory. All students must bring a print out of their BCIT transcript to the first class. Students who have completed their Program Declaration must also bring their Program Approval letter.
