Description In this subject, students will source a suitable design project to complete as a capstone work which illustrates the skills they have developed throughout their program. The project will contain a level of complexity exceeding that of previous building designs produced in the program. Diverse stakeholder input on the projects impact will be gathered and assessed. Knowledge gained in this subject will benefit students aspiring to roles in the integrated building design industry and the delivery of building projects.
