The following collection of assignments are made available for students and faculty to visually understand the goals of individual projects. Please observe the fair use / copyright if you chose to re-use this content.
Comprehensive design solutions are developed for public spaces such as retail, health care, houses of worship, restaurants, and hotels. Research on sustainable design through design concept, character development, programming, building codes, and formal presentations are emphasized. Signage, way finding, and security issues are highlighted. Freehand drafting, millwork detailing, models, and perspectives are developed. Prerequisite: ID 202 or ID 487.
Application of computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) concepts, methods, and skills used in interior design. Emphasis on the utilization of the CADD functions and skills to further enhance the design development and production phases of the design process. Prerequisite: ID 202 or ID 487. This course contains a significant component in the use of computers.
Students complete group projects that involve comprehensive design solutions developed for larger-scale spaces for special populations, such as assisted-living, child-care, and other special-needs facilities. Emphasis is on barrier-free design concepts, universal design application, and building and life safety codes. Various presentation styles are employed, freehand drafting, sketching, models, and computer-aided drafting skills are all incorporated.
In this course, students will complete individually selected comprehensive design solutions that involve client analysis, programming, and the determination of interior architectural materials, furnishings, and lighting design. The complete design process is emphasized with research, building and life-safety code implications, and design specifications applied in the student documentation. This is the senior capstone course.
Students will be exposed to complex issues in interiors and are challenged to deal with a broad range of issues in detail. You will be expected to think, explore, research, question, create, analyze, synthesize, compile, and evaluate information as a part of your learning experience. Emphasis will be given to data gathering, process development, project presentation and evaluation during critiques.
Investigation into the various sources, components, and materials utilized in lighting design. Emphasis is on analyzing objective and procedural criteria for determining selections of lighting types and evaluating decisions made in the lighting design process. Graduate students will apply investigations into current lighting practices to further assess the cause and effect of diverse lighting selections within the interior environment.
The Technology for Interior Design seminar provides students with a sophisticated understanding of structural and constructional issues and their affect upon the design and planning of interior environments. This seminar studies the influence your choices of materials has upon the methods of construction and detailing and requires students to identify and resolve construction related issues.
Students will sketch and analyze the works of prominent designers, explore innovative methods of integrating digital software in the design/discovery process, conduct precedent and market research all in an effort to better understand materials, details, and their relationship to design.
