| Module Description: |
This module offers an introduction to furniture design (freestanding and fitted) with a strong emphasis on ergonomics,functionality and aesthetics |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Identify and evaluate relevant precedent,the ergonomic and functional requirements of a specific piece of furniture and material appropriateness. |
| LO2 |
Progress an inital design concept through sketch/drawings in conjunction with 3D sketch model. |
| LO3 |
Produce a series of rendered presentation drawings and simple detail drawings to communicate their design. |
| LO4 |
Produce scaled models to a presentation standard which communicate their proposed design in terms of scale,form,materiality and colour. |
| Pre-requisite learning |

3D Design: Furniture, Projects
This elective module consists of two projects,the design of a free standing and fitted piece of furniture respectively.On analysis of the brief the student progresses a design from inital concept to a resolved design proposal through sketch and sketch model while considering the following: context,function,scale,ergonomics,materials,construction,colour and target market.Presenting their proposal through rendered orthographic drawings, visuals and a scaled model.
