History of the Interior

Interior Design Studio - City

Explore the bond between the built, natural and human environment in design. Learn the relationship between structure and technology. Uncover how floor and wall structures and materials impact and transform heating, lighting and acoustic function.

Travel back through the artistic and design movements of the 20th and 21st centuries. Be inspired by the Bauhaus design aesthetic, Gordon Matta-Clark’s work and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Trace their influence through to today’s work.

Step inside the world of interior design. Interrogate where the role of designer mixes with that of an architect. Consider the impact colour, light, furnishings and technology have on interior spaces. Apply your findings to a small-scale project.

Step into the world of design to examine the role of the interior architect. Delve into cities and study spaces including gardens, squares and pavilions. Address space, form and structure. Come up with conceptual project ideas inspired by your studies

Feel out the relationship between interior environments and their occupants. Engage with symbols and aesthetics. Investigate the tension between modern trends and cultural heritage. Deepen your understanding of design, drawing and modelling.

Philosophy and Practice

Harness visual and written language to convey a design idea that speaks to the concept of the interior. Spend time developing a research design and framework. Deconstruct interior design theories from global, local and Indigenous points of view.

Interior Theory and Methodologies

Improve your knowledge of local and international design history. Apply professional industry standards to your work. Plan your designs to scale. Jump from ergonomic theory to material applications and consider how both impact interior architecture

Interior Fundamentals 1

Kick-start your own self-directed research project into a core area of interior architecture. Decide on an experimental, practical or mixed-focus approach to your project. Take on new research and analysis methods. Reflect critically on your work.

Interior Architecture Research Studio 2

Probe what it means to experience enclosure. Examine how enclosure can refer to man-made structures or to something that goes beyond the built environment. Analyse environmentally-sustainable design practices as you continue your architecture study.

Interior Design Studio - Workplace

Head out into the field and get to grips with a community project. Consider social and cultural constructs that will impact your use of space and aesthetics. Challenge yourself to work with peers to develop a community-minded design solution.
