Course summary

The main aim of this programme is to support you in establishing your own definitions and approaches to the diverse and controversial subjects of interior, space and design. Addressing and questioning current spatial, interior and architectural theory, alongside the development of creative design projects, you will develop the theoretical and design skills needed for you to practice that definition. We will encourage you to:

• question, provoke and expand current thinking

• address key contemporary issues in the field such as equality, diversity, inclusion and sustainability.

• investigate your own innovative design solutions that address the future of interior, architectural and spatial design.

• explore the design potential of this by proposing new uses for old or redundant spaces within the site or institution

• engage with a variety of research and analysis methods, to support your iterative design process and theoretical development

• work on design projects of varying scale and complexity

• develop your interior practice in a professional context

• receive support through engagement with relevant industry codes; but at the same time, we encourage you to find innovative and abstract design solutions

• look at the subject through varying lenses from an urban to a material and detail scale

• need to have a robust working knowledge of digital and manual drawing skills in both two and three-dimensions to support the creation and presentation of your work

• engage in art school studio culture and collaborate with colleagues and staff in a studio setting
