OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to enable students to develop and implement a design concept that incorporates residential (and optionally office) functions within the context of a site with a landscape area. Students will experience the processes of spatial analysis, structural constraints, functional programming, and design expression, and will deliver a professional-level project presentation.
Contents of the Course Unit:	The course content includes the spatial and functional analysis of residential (and optionally office) functions within the context of a site with a landscape area, the examination of existing physical conditions, the transfer of this data into the design process, and the development of an original interior architecture project. Students will present their projects using professional presentation techniques and participate in jury evaluations.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Defines and lists the functional components of a residential-office space associated with a garden.
Develops and visualizes a design concept based on spatial, functional, and contextual data.
Analyzes the structural and spatial constraints of the designated site and integrates these findings into the conceptual design process.
Designs a residential-office project by incorporating functional solutions and represents the design through physical and/or digital models.
Prepares architectural drawings and visual materials that effectively communicate the design proposal in accordance with professional standards.
Presents and defends the project before a jury, explaining design decisions and their contextual rationale.
