SUMMER TRAINING-II

Course Description

This internship course aims to enable students to experience professional design and project management processes conducted in interior architecture offices. Students observe professional practices such as the analysis of user requirements, design development, client relations, proposal and contract processes, interdisciplinary coordination, the use of digital design tools, and office organization. In addition, they relate project planning, time management, cost awareness, and professional ethics to real-world professional practices. At the end of the internship, students systematically report their experiences and critically evaluate the working processes of design offices, professional responsibilities, and professional practices. The course aims to foster students’ awareness of lifelong learning and continuous professional development.
