Interior architecture critically engages design as a progressive craft of form making which transforms the individual and social ways we inhabit space. Design creatively orchestrates conflicting constraints creating meaningful solutions that fit into larger social and cultural contexts. Through the stories of our students, faculty and envisioned characters, the ephemeral and structured qualities of interior environments illuminate the human condition and its culturally rich spatial narratives. In order to develop new ways of seeing, building, and designing, students explore real and imagined geographies to critically produce space that demonstrates technique and effect.
The program explores how the physical and social join to create interior spaces infused with aesthetic and cultural relevance. Physical constructs of the visual arts, product design, furniture design, and architecture commingle with the social sciences, and the humanities. Using three-dimensional models, computer rendering, and drawing, students explore various disciplines that collectively are Interior Architecture. Students gain expertise in developing the essential elements of interior design, such as form, color, lighting, finishes and furnishings, along with appropriate building technology, material science, and behavioral factors to create spatial compositions. In a field of rapidly changing technology and ideas, the program provides students with both the professional and intellectual tools necessary to negotiate this exciting cultural landscape.
