Building on Studio 1, this course seeks to expand and deepen understanding of interior design fundamentals. Issues of human occupation will be addressed at phenomenological, experiential and pragmatic levels. Emphasis will be placed on the iterative design process and students will be asked to question their preconceptions around the fundamental issues of defining, designing and representing interior design projects. Students will explore the impact of the built environment on human experience, behavior, and performance through evidence gathering processes including but not limited to, precedent studies, case studies, and observations. Students will incorporate knowledge gained from concurrent Studio Lab including natural and constructed lighting Materials selection will also be foregrounded in this class. Through research and project work, students will develop specific ways that interior design, situated in an urban setting, can reconsider and innovate a mixed program environment to include performative and comfortable spaces for personal and communal living.
