What’s the course about?
This course specialises in the design and production of immersive, innovative and surprising interior spaces. You will have the opportunity to design and think between the digital and the physical worlds. Virtual and augmented reality are mixed with physical making and prototyping skills, which enables you to think about design with an open mind and challenge you to communicate your ideas in the most exciting ways. There’s great emphasis on the understanding and use of materials as you explore surface design and detailing.
Throughout the course you’ll work with existing buildings and conditions, producing refit, refurbishment, retrofit, re-use and place-making designs. As you progress, you’ll develop an expertise in producing impressive drawings, images and models, as you not only design functional, contemporary and innovative interiors, but – above all else – create immersive atmospheres.
