EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS

Course Description

This course aims to teach interior design students to work on interdisciplinary design projects within a team. Accordingly create an conceptual framework and conditions of validity of this framework nourished by interdisciplinary fields of art, design and philosophy give students a chance to extend their insights in design. Students are encouraged to work in fields other than their own majors. In that case the main aim of the course is to provide an opportunity to student work as teams on a design project rather than INTERIOR DESIGN. Design critiques is essential in order to make students understand the concept issue is an essential part of a design project.

Program Outcomes

1. P01 Integrate knowledge of interior architecture principles, spatial organization, and visual perception to develop user-centered, functional, aesthetically enriching, and innovative spatial solutions.
2. P02 Analyze and evaluate the relationships among user needs, functional constraints, ergonomics, accessibility, and universal design principles to develop interior architecture solutions across different design scales and contexts.
3. P03 Research, analyze, and relate historical, cultural, and theoretical knowledge to justify design decisions that respect local values while responding to global cultural diversity.
4. P04 Communicate design ideas effectively by integrating visual communication tools, manual and digital representation techniques, and appropriate digital technologies, including artificial intelligence-assisted visualization methods, where appropriate.
5. P05 Evaluate and integrate materials, color schemes, lighting, and furniture systems by considering user experience, environmental comfort, technical performance, and sustainability to create high-quality interior environments.
6. P06 Integrate environmental responsibility, occupant health, and ethical principles to develop sustainable, safe, and healthy interior architecture solutions and justify design decisions.
7. P07 Collaborate and coordinate with professionals from architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, and related disciplines by integrating multidisciplinary knowledge to develop comprehensive spatial solutions.
