Module Aims
Enable students to work through the full design process on Interior Design projects with increasing independence.
Develop strategic thinking through a complex adaptive re-use project that includes analysis of site constraints, structure, condition and character of the building with a consideration for a suitable change of use.
Address planning and circulation strategies and the consideration for building services from a user-centred perspective.
Extend awareness of how colour, materials, lighting, and products relate to brand identity and the visual impact of a design scheme.
Content Summary
Interior Design Projects 2 emphasizes creative and strategic thinking in response to a brief and the increasingly independent exploration of design concepts and visual presentation methods, extending the design skills acquired at Level 4.
Students are introduced to a range of specialist areas relative to Interior Design (such as exhibition, retail, hospitality, commercial, heritage or cultural projects), in order to recognize how to approach different types of projects, as well as to increase awareness of the field and career possibilities.
Students learn by working through the full design process on Interior Design projects from initial research to final design schemes. This involves analysing, interpreting and evaluating existing sites/buildings and exploring the possibilities of adapting them for new functions. It entails research into precedent projects/case studies, materials/lighting/products, and consideration for how to meet client aspirations and user needs, whilst developing a design language and distinct visual identity for the scheme.
