1. Brief description and aims of module:

This module gives you an opportunity to apply your creative and technical interior design skills to the hospitality and leisure sector. The brief/s will consider: the customer profile and associated needs such as accessibility; the division between the public facing spaces and those ‘behind the scenes’ not accessible to the public.

This module will include a more complex site, or a larger building, in order to focus on structure and construction in more detail. You will be asked to consider structural alteration and collaboration with other professionals such as engineers.

The practical work should develop your range of references and individual visual, technical and contextual research and its documentation.
