Level 1
Interior Space Planning

Within the dynamic field of interior design education, students are exposed to a wide range of teaching techniques designed to provide a thorough understanding of the discipline while utilizing cutting-edge design technologies. Our Interior Design Level 1 curriculum takes a multifaceted approach, combining hands-on workshops, immersive studio sessions, and traditional lectures to provide students with the information and abilities they need to handle interior design challenges. Studio-based learning, in which students use state-of-the-art digital tools and technology to realize their design concepts while working together on design projects, is fundamental to our educational philosophy. Field visits offer invaluable insights into industry practices and the application of technology in real-world contexts, while workshops provide practical training in design software and digital rendering techniques.

Students who successfully complete Interior Design Level 1 will have a basic understanding of space planning and interior architectural design concepts. This understanding facilitates their ability to specify the distribution of spaces within interior design projects. Students gain expertise in creating precise technical drawings that adhere to industry standards by studying 2D CAD designs and using programs like AutoCAD. To successfully communicate design concepts, students also study a variety of media applications and drawing skills. These skills allow them to create numerous perspective views with shading and shadowing. Additionally, students show a minimum level of proficiency with specialized software for practical use in interior design projects, such as Photoshop and InDesign.

In addition, they consider the evolution of art, design, visual culture, item aesthetics, and function throughout history, acquiring knowledge about how historical models impact modern interior design techniques. Finally, students learn about the different types of materials, procurement techniques, codes, and standards used in interior design projects and product requirements. These thorough learning objectives provide students with the fundamental information and abilities needed to pursue interior design employment and future education.
