Interior Architecture Studio 2: Place, Space and Human Experience
Overview
The aim of this unit is to develop students' design thinking and skills using creative design tools. The unit requires students to explore conceptual, metaphorical and technological aspects of interior architecture. Students will learn to design an interior architectural project from a design brief and apply spatial, sensory and ethical dimensions and experiences to accommodate current and future needs. Students will learn to refine an interior architectural project through the consideration of site and historical context, circulation, light, views etc., and communicate these design ideas using visual and oral presentations.
