Interior Design Studio 5

In this fifth level of the studio courses, short lectures on key design criteria of prescribed project scenarios continue to be provided, but the direction of the class is dependent on the critical path defined by individual and team approaches. Students manipulate processes studied in preceding studio and theory classes to produce sophisticated design solutions, individually and in teams, in response to specific criteria demanding behavioural, conceptual and contextual consideration with a focus on hospitality spaces under 5,000 square feet, as well as a small scale design competition challenge sponsored by an exterior body. Collaboration, ideation, guided questioning and critical analysis using a recognized design process are emphasized at all levels of the studio course and are demonstrated with both two- and three-dimensional drawings.
