Description

This subject was previously known as BIA270 Interior Architecture Contexts.

This interdisciplinary subject explores and debates significant art and design movements across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the broader context of significant world events affecting social, political, technological, and economical developments, including indigenous perspectives. The effects of these movements on the shaping and making of the interior is considered at both local and international levels, in particular by deconstructing key methods and processes of design practice.
