Interiors (Architecture and Design)

This module focuses on design process by encouraging you to rethink and reinterpret existing site contexts. You will be challenged to creatively re-imagine and critically engage with the reuse of spaces, materials and concepts. Working both individually and collaboratively, you will learn to integrate design strategies and practical insights into a well-structured and cohesive design proposal. The emphasis is on developing innovative solutions, that respond to real-world challenges, while maintaining a clear, sustainable vision.

This module is focused on establishing a comprehensive research framework that supports your design practice. You will explore a wide range of tools, including model-making, digital technologies, and visual mapping techniques, alongside investigation into theories, histories, and the cultural contexts that shape the built environment. You will gather, analyse, and record insights related to a specific physical site, transforming this research into a personal direction that informs your design thinking.

Utilising several experimental, Interior focused techniques, this module concentrates on the design development of an Adaptive Reuse based proposal. This proposal will clearly respond to the relationship between place, context and its relevant occupants/users. Through an iterative process you will develop your initial thinking into a considerate and comprehensive project. Your studio and practice-based work will fully explore contemporary methods and add to your knowledge of design strategy.
