Promoting the provocative, expansive and contemporary potentials of unstable space, the unit proposes to interrogate, design and test unstable spaces as relational and performative co-agents in the generation of valid and valued designed environments. Proposing a dynamic relation between the built environment and the anthropological condition, the studio investigates the complex relations between space, form and object as they relate to 'spaces of spectacle'.
Throughout the unit, students will also be introduced to the practical and organisational logistics associated with the design, construction, and management of unstable and temporary spaces and events.
Learning outcomes
After successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Select and evaluate design strategies suitable for the development of unstable spaces;
2. Synthesise and apply a range of contemporary theories relevant to temporary and unstable space;
3. Evaluate the theoretical relationships bet ween context, objects and bodies;
4. Use and evaluate a range of contextually relevant media and tools to communicate design proposals;
5. Present a resolved final design and make project; and
6. Curate, direct and manage temporary design spaces and installations.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
All assignments must be uploaded to Canvas. When an assignment cannot be uploaded to
Canvas, e.g. Presentations in person, physical models or objects or files too large to upload
then your Unit Convener will tell you the submission details in section 5b. For all assessment
items submitted online via the unit Canvas site the first page of each assessment submission
should include the following information:

Academic integrity
Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.
To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.
Use of Text-Matching Software
The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.
Learner engagement
The amount of time you will need to spend on study in this unit will depend on a number of
factors including your prior knowledge, learning skill level and learning style. Nevertheless, in
planning your time commitments you should note that for a 3cp unit the total notional
workload over the semester or term is assumed to be 150 hours. These hours include time
spent in classes. The total workload for units of different credit point value should vary
proportionally. For example, for a 6cp unit the total notional workload over a semester or term
is assumed to be 300 hours.
Participation requirements
Full attendance at all lectures, studios and seminars is expected. Students must contact
the studio tutor in advance if they are unable to attend. There is a significant link
between a student's attendance/participation, and the quality of their learning
outcomes demonstrated by the submitted assessable project components. To this end,
attendance records are kept and may be used to guide and inform aspects of our
evaluation and feedback.
Please advise the Unit Convener if you are unable to attend a particular class or studio.
Students who attend campus for class or other purposes must play their part in keeping our campus and community safe by following these basic guidelines to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission:
