Level 2
Interior Design Process
In interior design education, students can learn about the array of pedagogical strategies created to give them a profound understanding of the discipline, from the traditional fundamentals to mastering the advancements in design technologies. Our Interior Design Level 2 program takes a multifaceted approach to teaching, combining traditional lectures, interactive workshops, and immersive studio sessions to give students the information and abilities they need to navigate the complexities of advanced interior design. Studio-based learning, which enables students to use advanced digital tools and technology collaboratively to realize their design visions, is fundamental to our educational paradigm. In addition, field trips provide students with invaluable firsthand knowledge of industry practices and the practical application of technology in real-world settings. Additionally, specialized workshops offer focused instruction in advanced design software and digital rendering techniques, guaranteeing that students are well-equipped for industry challenges.
In Interior Design Level 2, students will develop advanced skills and proficiency in the design process and methodological approach. They will respond effectively to specified briefs through practical application and interpretation of complete interior design proposals. Design Project I provides students with hands-on experience applying design methodology to projects such as two-story residences or small commercial typologies. Mastery in technical drawing is emphasized, with students expected to create scaled technical drawings of spatial divisions and furniture layouts following industry standards.
Additionally, students will acquire proficiency in digital rendering techniques, enabling them to illustrate interior spaces accurately through digital perspective views with material rendering. Intermediate Digital Design coursework enhances students’ capabilities in creating color palettes, charts, material boards, and specification binders using digital tools. Proficiency in 3D digital modeling tools empowers students to create intricate interior design projects and visualize design concepts in three-dimensional space. Moreover, engagement with History of Art, Design & Visual Culture II deepens students’ understanding of art and design evolution from the late 19th century to the present, enriching their design practice with historical insights.
Through industry connections, students in the interior design program can enhance their careers with Istituto Marangoni Miami’s industry partners.
