Course overview
The aim of this course is o introduce students to the design of small to medium-scale interior spaces through exploration of spatial and material concepts, graphic communication, and speculative exploration using both analogue and digital design tools. It offers opportunities for students to investigate design methodology as a research practice, introducing methodologies for generating interior architectural propositions. Students will develop knowledge and skills in creative and representational practice, applying them to interior design project(s) of increasing complexity.
