Interior Design (IDES)

Description: An in-depth study of programs, standards, and codes and their application with which an interior designer is concerned.

Description: An investigation into industrial design, the history of the profession, process and methods used in the creation of objects, and contemporary issues facing the field.

Description: Introduction to the design, analysis, representation, and communication of interior environments. Studies of the application of design principles as formal space making strategies, understanding the role of design components in interiors, and the spatial systems that are integral to space and place-making

Description: A continuation of IDES210 with an emphasis on design processes to identify, analyze, and integrate design components and primary interior spatial systems into responsive interiors. Projects studied increase in complexity and scale.

Description: Advance your analog and digital representation techniques to generate experimental, imaginative, and critical interior design graphics and representations as a means of communication, process, and spatial possibilities.

Description: Acquire a basic skill set that can be used to negotiate representation, drawing and digital modeling methods in multiple outputs. Representation and visualization will be explored as methods in which to inform, imagine and inspire design narratives.

Description: An introduction into basic operations, design strategies, and customization in Revit software.

Description: In-depth study of the materials with which an interior designer is concerned: floor coverings, wall coverings, lighting and lighting fixtures, window treatments, and accessories.

Description: Conceptual application and aesthetic study of materials and the impact they have on an interior environments atmosphere and experience. Fabrication tools and techniques are studied and tested as they relate to the customization of materials and objects for interiors.

Description: Emphasis on the design process and advancement of problem solving skills related to interior design and the proximate environments; such as analysis, inventory and integration of multiple variables, utilizing data and research to establish meaningful design intentions, strategic programming, and the re-adaptation of old typologies into current and emerging spatial solutions.

Description: A continuation of IDES 310, with emphasis on the role of the interior as it relates to social and civic systems. Advanced studies occur in space-making methodologies, visual communication and representation techniques, and interior specifications related to materiality and building/safety standards.

Description: Legal, business, and ethical procedures and practices of interior design.

Description: Architectural lighting and acoustical systems of buildings for non-engineers. Fundamentals of light and vision, lighting equipment, requirements for building lighting, fundamentals of sound and hearing, room acoustics, noise control, and basic design methods for both architectural lighting and acoustics.

Description: A required, professionally-oriented experience that must be supervised by a qualified (licensed or registered) design professional and supervised by a faculty coordinator.

Description: Design of a comprehensive multipurpose interior space that addresses and challenges disciplinary topics and results in complete drawings and specifications.

Description: Current issues relevant to the field of product design including social, cultural, ethical, and sustainable design practices. Explore these issues through the lenses of design and systems thinking while situating design as an interplay between people, machine, and environment.

Description: Explore the full scope of the product design process from opportunity discovery, design development, to fabrication of full-scale prototypes

Description: Generate a design from conception to a finished product that emphasizes the awareness of the human and the environment in the creation of product design solutions.

Description: Focuses on the way people understand the built environment. Design for wayfinding, information graphics, architectural graphics such as signage, exhibit design, and themed environments.

Description: Basic set of construction documents for a small residential or commercial space. Set includes demolition, partition, and reflected ceiling plans, power and communication plans, finish and furnishings plans, interior elevations, sections, details and schedules. Expression of design intent as construction documents is reinforced in lecture, structured studio experiences, and site visits.

Description: History and development of interiors and furnishings from prehistoric times to the present day, emphasizing the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. Interiors and furnishings focused on the West yet considered within a global context.

Description: Introduction to the relationship between human behavior and the environment. Key areas of inquiry address a continuum of scale: person, home, building, community and city.

Description: Survey and integration of theory, methods, research and findings from the social, behavioral, and managerial sciences as they relate to the design of work environments. Factors effecting change in the contemporary workplace.

Description: Engages in multi-faceted discourse on the built environment, development, and design of suburbia. Emphasis is placed on the role of design and its impact on the physical, social, political and economic structures of the suburbs and the single-family home. Examines multiple scales from various points of view.

Description: Intensive study of particular historical and contemporary contributions by women to the design professions related to the built environment. Evaluation of design work by and about women seen in their aesthetic and intellectual context. Examinations of the roles and values of women in design and their impact on the assumptions and issues currently held by the profession.

Description: The theories and practices of material culture. History and interior design--and the broad category of humanity itself--through the lens of material objects.

Description: Contemporary and controversial issues. Nuances of the field and practice of interior design and its relationship to the allied design disciplines.

Description: An introduction to evidence based design as it applies to a variety of different building types. Overall exploration of research topics and issues related to key areas of inquiry include: workplace, healthcare, education, retail + brand, culture and sustainability. The design application of research findings related to each respective area is explored.

Description: Comprehensive overview of the complementary and contributory relationship between research and design, with a particular emphasis on design research as a projective activity.

Description: Group investigation of a topic in interior design originated by instructor.

Description: Individual investigation of a topic in interior design.
