DECO3665: Graduation Show
2022 unit information
This unit of study enables students to engage in a collaborative project to research, design and produce a high-profile public exhibition of graduating work across courses from Architecture, Design and Urban Design programs. The project will exercise and extend design skills and knowledge required to produce a plausible concept for the exhibition and to implement the necessary logistical, technical and practical means to realise it. The project integrates multiple activities which exercise different skill sets including research and precedent studies of exhibition, curation; developing a critical, plausible and achievable concept for the event; budgeting and financial management; exhibition design; graphic design; construction and installation of the exhibition; consultation with stakeholders and implementation. Students will extend their research, design and implementation skills through a real project with a concrete outcome to real-time deadlines and resource limitations.
