Topics covered include , development of return briefs, idea pitch/presentation skills, and advanced technical skills in furniture construction as required. External clients involved in research or experimental environments provide the design brief whenever possible.

The course is taught by a combination of site visits, presentations, readings, discussions, and guided design development allowing students to respond to the built environment.

Examples of past project briefs include: Shelter for an Endangered Species; Response to Climate Change; Student Lounge Rejuvenation.
