Description

Studio: The Future of Living (Together)

This interdisciplinary studio offered by the IKEA x UTS Future Living Lab explores the future of living in the home in the post-covid-age.

Our desire for stability and certainty as well as our need for privacy and social interaction are challenged by the new reality of (post)pandemic urban living. The need for safety and comfort in the home has become more important than ever before.

According to the 2020 IKEA pulse report ‘ home has become everything: our workplace, our school, our sanctuary, our boundary’.

As we are moving in and out of lockdown, the domestic environment needs to adapt dynamically to the conditions of the constantly evolving ‘new normal’.

In this studio, stduents focus on the living room as the centre of the house.

How can Interior Architecture and Architecture respond to these challenges creatively? How does one redefine living (together) in the digital and post-covid- age? What is the future of living?

This elective engages with IKEA to push the boundaries of innovation through researching and implementing new design approaches to address unique Australian needs of domestic life, linked to the future of living in the digital and post-covid age. Students are paired across the disciplines and develop projects that fuse object and spatial design to create models that form the exhibition and documentation to close the studio. This elective engages with IKEA at a high level to push the boundaries of innovation through researching and implementing new design approaches to address unique Australian needs of domestic life, linked to atmospheric, multi-sensory and emotive design.

Subject learning objectives (SLOs)

On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:

1.	Demonstrate a capacity to participate actively and collaboratively during studio sessions in all tasks and work activities.
2.	Engage in rigorous methods of analysis through research, observation and contextual analysis and to understand the basic principles of innovative design.
3.	Demonstrate a capacity to design an innovative conceptual framework with transferability across program and location.
4.	Develop formal and informal methods of visual and verbal communication and presentation.
5.	Engage a clear and progressive work method throughout each phase of the iterative design process.

Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)

This subject also contributes to the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes:

Ability to take autonomous responsibility for actions and decisions (A.1)
Ability to work cooperatively as part of a team, initiate partnerships with others, take a leadership role when required and constructively contribute to peer learning and critique (C.1)
Ability to communicate ideas effectively, including oral, written, visual, analogue and digital presentations (2D and 3D) (C.2)
Ability to understand and generate design propositions across a diverse range of design scenarios and negotiate final propositions with multiple stakeholders (I.2)
Ability to initiate and execute meaningful self-directed iterative processes (I.3)
Ability to apply and utilise appropriate communication techniques, knowledge and understanding to enable practical applications in spatial design (P.1)
Ability to rigorously explore, apply and extend multiple representational techniques (P.2)
Ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of interior and spatial design precedent and to contextualise one's work within the extended discipline (R.3)
Ability to reflect on, challenge and interrogate theoretical speculation (R.4)

Contribution to the development of graduate attributes

The term CAPRI is used for the five Design, Architecture and Building faculty graduate attribute categories where:

C = communication and groupwork

A = attitudes and values

P = practical and professional

R = research and critique

I = innovation and creativity.

Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs) are linked to these categories using codes (e.g. C-1, A-3, P-4, etc.).

Teaching and learning strategies

This subject uses problem based learning strategies that involve students in researching and developing their own solutions to a complex, open design brief.

The subject is delivered over 2 weeks in daily 4h studio sessions.

Studio sessions will incorporate a range of active learning strategies including in-studio collaborative workshops, presentations and discussion alongside research into case studies, readings and reflection.

As per Industry Design Studios, the subject engages a rigorous method of collaboration across all set tasks - individual and group.

Students are expected to engage in research and design development explored through an iterative process of exploration.

Content (topics)

Topics include:

Visual and spatial research methods
Exhibition strategies
Precedent analysis - national and international
Formal Client Presentations - verbal and documentation techniques
Strategic overlays - immersive, sustainable + sensorial environments
Multi-use and transferable design approaches
