    Worthington & Blyth (2010), Managing the Brief for Better Design, Routledge, London.

  • Subject notes

    This subject is closely related to “ABPL90322 Human Environment Relations” and “EDUC90728 Innovative Spaces & Pedagogy”, with the latter unit available to ABP and MGSE students who work together on 'real' school based projects.
    Where the course structure allows it, some Melbourne School of Design students may be able to take all three subjects (check Handbook course entries for details).
    Master of Architecture students who complete all three subjects and subsequently undertake “ABPL90169 Design Thesis” with a Learning Environments theme, find they have a strong basis for framing their thesis.
