| Interior Design
The Interior Design program is designed to prepare students
for professional opportunities in the field of interior design
in order to enhance the function, quality and safety of interior
spaces. The interior design program attracts students who
want to be challenged both creatively and technically, people
who have aesthetic sensitivity and who understand the importance
of using space effectively and efficiently.
The student is guided through a balanced curriculum that
can provides him/her with the expertise to design and communicate
his/her ideas. Competencies in theoretical aspects are developed
to expand the student's intellectual discipline. Creativity
is challenged as the student experiments with form, space,
texture and color. The student is taught to analyze and evaluate
situations, to project and test solutions and to refine and
communicate these solutions. They become motivators of appropriate
social behavior, drawing on historic and cultural influences
to enrich their responses to the design problem. A design
philosophy integrated with an internationalistic influence
("global awareness") is fostered. Focus on a forward-looking
holistic view of society is encouraged. Design solutions are
then tested against a backdrop of knowledge acquired from
codes and laws with attention given to the preparation of
technical drawings and contracts. Skills such as drafting,
computer-aided drawing and rendering should be mastered in
order to provide final design recommendations and vehicles
for the estimation and execution of the work. The quantities,
cost and appropriate application and use of furniture and
materials is studied to enable the student to address the
aesthetic, functional and economic needs of the client.
