Interior Architecture Studio - Foundation

History of the Interior

Design Studio 1

Design Drawing

Bespoke Decoration

This subject explores the relationship between materials and storytelling. It introduces students to the attributes of materiality and encourages them to re-imagine the possibilities of creating through making. Students will explore the art of paper folding, developing skills and taking creative risks. These results will be captured digitally and altered using the appropriate software. Individual tasks allow students to develop an understanding and appreciation of materials, their many varied uses, properties, and the sustainable manufacturing processes related to them. Students will progress towards determining suitable materials in which to construct their final model with its form and function contextualised and supported by a documented process journal. Their final submission will be a model that reminds us that stories which fill our lives are not only spoken and written but sometimes are best told through craft.

Explore materials and techniques that create meaningful, sustainable interior spaces. From paper folds to digital modelling, you’ll study the creative processes that unite form and texture. Uncover how design and storytelling connect in inspiring ways.

In this subject, a range of both analogue and digital techniques to carry out a basic measure up, produce 2D technical drawings and generate 3D models are taught. Students explore the way technical manual drafting can be applied to interior decoration and design contexts. The subject provides an understanding of how to identify and produce floor plans, sections, elevations and to extract views from digital 3D models as is relevant to interior spaces.

Measure, draw, and render your interior designs. You’ll learn to create accurate floor plans and 3D visualisations. Turn your creative concepts into professional presentations. Communicate your ideas with precision and style.

This subject is an introduction to the design process with an emphasis on bespoke decoration. The student learns about design principles and elements and their place in the creative design process and the role of reflection in design development throughout the design process. A focus on colour and the application in interior spaces is explored and applied. The student produces design concepts for an interior space through a series of exercises using creative thinking methods. The student explores and challenges a range of different ideas. Presentation techniques are explored. During this subject the student acquires a basic understanding of the opportunities for custom design and customising available products.

Learn how to harness your creativity to transform interior spaces. Explore the design process. Experiment with colour and materials. Develop the skills to craft unique, client-ready decorative concepts.

In this subject, students will explore historical styles and eras of architecture, interior design and decoration with an Australian focus. Students will report on historical built styles and create a variety of analog and digital visualisations, including 360-degree images. This increased awareness of history better positions students to contribute to contemporary built design practice.

History of Architecture, Interior Design, and Decoration

Introduction to Design Studies, immerses students in the dynamic world of design. Fostering self- discovery and creative inquiry, students acquire essential skills and strategies for academic success. Through exploration and experimentation, students develop a fundamental understanding of emerging trends and practices in a variety of design contexts, while gaining initial insight into the diverse career paths available. Through an integrated and practical approach that incorporates vital skills such as time management and reflection, students engage in creative self-discovery, develop storytelling and presentation skills and establish literacy in design communication and practice. At the conclusion of this subject, students emerge equipped with the tools and confidence to enrich and inform their future studies in design.

Introduction to Design Studies

This subject introduces the student to the investigation and specification of furniture, soft furnishings and accessories for interior spaces. The student learns how to identify and compare furniture and accessory types, interpret the decoration requirements from a project brief, and make the appropriate recommendations to the client. The student is introduced to the application of Australian Standards, documentation and presentation of decorative recommendations.

Product Knowledge

In this subject, multiple types of joinery and associated finishes are introduced. Through documentation of a basic joinery package for a kitchen, joinery construction terminology and its application are explored. Instruction includes joinery finishes, fittings, and equipment. Australian Standards, regulations, and codes are applied to the joinery documentation.

Joinery and Finishes

This subject examines perspectives on models of practice relevant to interior design. It examines design practice in response to changing needs and requirements of clients and design briefs. It also explores the strategies used for expressing ideas, and the design skills required to communicate them. The purpose of the subject is for students to gain knowledge in foundation level design practice relevant to interior design. The design process workflow from original idea to review of work in progress, revision, presentation and reflection is explored.
