Interior Design Studio is the core of the curriculum. It provides students with a virtual studio environment where industry practices and design theories are integrated into simulated projects. Collaboration, ideation, guided questioning and critical analysis using a recognized design process are emphasized at all levels of the studio.
The studio-learning environment provides a foundation for this practical experience. Short lectures on key design criteria of prescribed project scenarios are provided, but the direction of the class is dependant on the critical path defined by individual and team approaches.
This course will lead students through studio projects, individually and in teams, in response to discipline-specific criteria demanding behavioural, conceptual and contextual consideration with a focus on workplace and health-care settings.
