IMT 506E - Interior Architectu.Project II

Course Objectives

1. To explore the evolution of interior space design criteria and its impact on urban environments.
2. To analyze the changing paradigms in design and their implications for educational spaces.
3. To integrate cultural heritage, spatial architectural elements, materiality of interiors, aesthetics, and building technologies into design solutions.
4. To develop comprehensive design proposals that synthesize theoretical concepts with technical skills in spatial planning, material selection, and building technologies.
5. To emphasize the importance of adaptive furniture and modular systems in accommodating evolving spatial requirements and user preferences.
6. To focus on architectural details to enhance functionality, aesthetics, and user experience within interior environments.
7. To engage in hands-on design exercises and collaborative workshops to explore the complex interplay between interior architecture, urban context, and educational pedagogy.
8. To reimagine studio spaces within architecture schools, considering the evolving needs of students, faculty, and the broader community.
9. To underscore the role of interior architecture in shaping the identity and character of architectural institutions.
10. To address emerging spatial requirements and user expectations, ensuring that design solutions are responsive to current challenges and future uncertainties.
