Interior Design Studio 10

Course Description

Comprehensive Design Graduation Project. Interior Design Studio 10 offers the graduation project in interior design. In this final design studio, the students will complete a comprehensive real-world design project that integrates programming, research, and design process using advanced graphic, verbal and written communication skills. The project uses the information, preliminary zoning, and the program developed in the preceding Senior Thesis Research course. Students will investigate a problem from concept generation to design development and detailing. This terminal project reinforces students’ specialized experience, and their design outcome will synthesize the knowledge and design capabilities acquired during their five years’ studies. The projects are classified into two main categories according to their proposed programs and scopes of work. The first category is “Rehabilitation projects” which maintains the existing building functions (e.g., upgrading an existing resort), and the second category is “Conversion projects” which introduces new functions to the existing building (e.g., changing a commercial building into a children science museum). Upon completion of the course, students will become completely independent, self-critical and prepared to work on several problems simultaneously using a variety of relevant problem-solving strategies and critical thinking processes.
