There will be a lot of debate and prototyping before any designs are taken into production.<br/><br/>**Assessment and progression**<br/><br/>The written component of the programme helps amplify and contextualise your understanding of process and this wider awareness of design feeds back into your practice-based work. You will produce written contextual assignments alongside studio-based work.
