THE DESIGNEmphasis is directed into design process, programming, analytical critical thinking with the considerations of the environment influences, behavioral studies and end user’s needs and design resolution. Distinctively the progression would be enhanced with having effective graphical communication and technical skill. More commercial project tasks are introduced to relate to the direction of the industry that manipulates various specialised details of materiality and specifications. The module investigates the attraction of workspace value to their specific markets through interior design, which accurately reflects brand values and corporate identity.

I want to start by expressing my gratitude to Ms. Fatimah, Ms. Yasmin, and Ms. Chelsea for their thorough guidance throughout the semester and for always making sure we did our best while also taking care of ourselves. Overall, this semester has been incredibly fruitful and eye-opening. It has stretched me to the limit, taught me a lot of new things, and made me aware of how much I still need to learn in order to be able to produce my best work. With a group project to kick off this semester, I realised how crucial communication is to a group's ability to work effectively together. Finding out where and how my peers get their ideas and inspiration was very enlightening. I also learned two new, very fascinating techniques - laser cutting and 3D printing; with the group and individual models.
Time management was a problem for me with the final project because I found it challenging to balance submissions from other modules and the final project at the same time. But in order to bring my ideas to life, I was able to master Enscape and discover fun, new ways to use Sketchup. This project challenged me to think critically and generate ideas and designs that I had no idea I was capable of. Regarding the final presentation day, this was my first time presenting in front of a panel as I missed my chance to do so last semester because I had contracted Covid. Undoubtedly, I was very nervous, but the panel's evaluation of how I could improve myself and the areas I should concentrate on allowed me to learn a lot about how to produce higher-quality work and designs for my internship and upcoming semesters.
Overall, I am grateful and happy that I made it through this semester with the help of my lecturers, and I am eager to continue learning and developing even more during my internship.
