Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to test and apply techniques for the production of models or maquettes for spatial designs.
It applies to individuals who generate ideas and solutions for the layout of spaces. Spatial design solutions are required for exhibitions, fit-outs for exterior spaces or environments, and fit-outs for building foyers and offices, special events and theatre sets.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan and organise requirements |
1.1 Interpret requirements of design briefs, in consultation with clients or colleagues 1.2 Research financial, physical and human resources required for developing design concept to prototype stage 1.3 Investigate environmental, ethical and technical factors that impact on selection and use of resources 1.4 Select and prepare resources based on research into designs and approaches used for similar spaces, and relevant standards or legislative requirements |
2. Test design approaches |
2.1 Produce preliminary visuals 2.2 Experiment with range of techniques and processes to test design approaches 2.3 Evaluate, challenge and refine testing processes 2.4 Critique own work and seek feedback as required 2.5 Document outcomes of testing 2.6 Select final design approach based on outcomes of testing and input from others |
3. Make spatial design models or maquettes |
3.1 Scope work and determine requirements for object fabrication 3.2 Select and organise materials, tools and equipment for fabrication according to design approach 3.3 Make models or maquettes consistent with design concepts and briefs 3.4 Respond to feedback and refine work as required 3.5 Present models or maquettes within agreed timeframes |
