Interior architecture is the design of a space from the inside out. As a department, we’re focused on a socially responsible approach to designing spaces, objects, and materials.
You’ll learn the fundamentals, context, and history of architectural design. Study composition, form, style, media, and materials. Explore human-centered design in space, time, and built environments for activities and wellbeing. Create a sustainable practice that is mindful of culture, region, social responsibility, and ethics. Use digital tools, techniques, and technologies. Work with 2D, 3D, and 4D visual language basics in media and material explorations, like Creative Suite and AutoCAD.
Master the design process — from identifying a project’s purpose to incorporating feedback.
