Unit Outline

In this unit, you will explore differences and intersections between virtual/conceptual and physical/experiential fields of spatial design and art practices. Through practical fieldwork, you will consider interactions with public and private spaces, objects, and buildings and/or architecture in the physical world, and compare these to the ways that people interact with mediated, virtual and augmented spaces. You will also investigate how these spaces can be intervened to maximise experience to include sensory, emotional or immersive elements.

Intended Learning Outcomes

As per the Assessment and Results Policy 1.3, your results will reflect your achievement against specified learning outcomes.

On completion of this unit, you will be able to:


1	Explain experiential principles and practices
2	Evaluate the impact of experiential practices that improving experience/s
3	Apply experiential principles and practice to improve experience/s
4	Reflect on critical feedback to improve experiential outcomes

Assessment details

Assessment Task 1: Research Place and Context

Task Description:

This task focuses on developing the necessary foundational primary and secondary skills that underly the identification and application of experiential principles.

You will engage with a specific place (site, space or environment) that has been identified as being disengaged from the local community. Through individual and group place-based research (primary) coupled with related precedents and/or existing case studies (secondary) you will present an introductory creative brief as the basis to understand and explore a range of experiential principles.

Based on frameworks explored during class, your brief will include an initial place and context analysis, associated supporting research and recommendations, and strategies that could be deployed to improve experience/s.

Task Length:

500 words and illustrations (including images, graphs and other evidence)

Due Date:

Week 4

MEASURES INTENDED

LEARNING OUTCOME(S)


1	Evidence of research and knowledge of foundational experiential principles and application to creative-brief development	LO1, LO2
2	Evidence of critical engagement with chosen site/s and reasoned justification relating to problem identification	LO2, LO3, LO4
3	Evidence of insight and research into experiential examples and clarity of communicating through a creative brief	LO1, LO4

Assessment Task 2: Concept: Observe and Develop

Task Description:

Building on the initial research and scoping exercise from Assessment Task 1, you will deepen your understanding of experiential principles through individual and group observational and concept development.

Based on frameworks explored during class, you will engage deeply by mapping your individual experience of place through observational exercises. Combined with initial research, this exercise establishes the structural support from which to develop a considered conceptual and/or creative direction.

Task Length:

How your final result is determined

To pass this unit, you need to demonstrate your attainment of each of the Intended Learning Outcomes, achieve a final unit grade of 50% or greater, and pass any hurdle tasks.

Academic progress review

The results for this unit may be included in a review of your academic progress. For information about progress reviews and what they mean for all students, see Academic Progress Review in the Student Portal.

Submission of assignments

Where practicable, assignments should be submitted to an assignment submission folder in MYLO. You must submit assignments by the due date or receive a penalty (unless an extension of time has been approved by the Unit Coordinator). Students submitting any assignment in hard copy, or because of a practicum finalisation, must attach a student cover sheet and signed declaration for the submission to be accepted for marking.

Academic integrity

Academic integrity is about acting responsibly, honestly, ethically, and collegially when using, producing, and communicating information with other students and staff members.

In written work, you must correctly reference the work of others to maintain academic integrity. To find out the referencing style for this unit, see the assessment information in the MyLO site, or contact your teaching staff. For more detail about Academic Integrity, see Important Guidelines & Support.

Requests for extensions

If you are unable to submit an assessment task by the due date, you should apply for an extension.

A request for an extension should first be discussed with your Unit Coordinator or teaching support team where possible. A request for an extension must be submitted by the assessment due date, except where you can provide evidence it was not possible to do so. Typically, an application for an extension will be supported by documentary evidence: however, where it is not possible for you to provide evidence please contact your Unit Coordinator.

The Unit Coordinator must notify you of the outcome of an extension request within 3 working days of receiving the request.

Late penalties

Assignments submitted after the deadline will receive a late penalty of 5% of the original available mark for each calendar day (or part day) that the assignment is late. Late submissions will not be accepted more than 10 calendar days after the due date, or after assignments have been returned to other students on a scheduled date, whichever occurs first. Further information on Late Penalties can be found on the Assessments and Results Procedure.
