A comprehensive semester-long project includes a significant programming phase and is intended as a pre-thesis project with more demanding project content and presentation requirements than in previous design studio projects. Guest critics are involved on a regular basis and site/field trips are included
-
3.00 Credits
An historical survey of western and non-western interior styles provides a critical context for studio design work. Relationships to concurrent developments in art, architecture and related fields will be integrated with the primary interior design focus. A traditional chronology from Ancient through Rococo will be followed. Special presentations will focus on architectural mass-void relationships, and the relationships in the use of color on buildings and their interiors.
-
3.00 Credits
This history survey continues, picking up with the Industrial revolution, the Crystal Palace, and on through the Modern Movement to contemporary issues. The ultimate goal of the two history courses is to imbue students with the understanding that they are the current end-point of the historical continuum.

3.00 Credits
Drawing and drawing set organization are tied to issues explored in Construction I and II. Details such as partitions, doors, interior glazing, ceiling and flooring systems, acoustic techniques provide the initial focus for the class. Various schedules for doors, windows, hardware and finishes are examined. Details are related to specifications and are drawn within the broader planning context. This class includes additional AutoCAD instruction.
-
3.00 Credits
This class further develops students' understanding of working drawings and details. Details related to specifications are drawn in larger context. Students are expected to produce a full set with demolition plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, reflected ceiling plans, electric/data plans, details and schedules. This class also includes additional AutoCAD instruction.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic construction principles and building codes are covered. Various materials including wood, masonry, steel and concrete are examined. Interior construction topics include doors and frames, interior glazing, types of partitions, floors and flooring systems and ceilings. The business of construction is introduced and includes working with contractors, estimating, bidding and negotiation.
-
3.00 Credits
Construction principles and building codes are pursued in greater depth. Interior construction topics including doors and frames, interior glazing, types of partitions, floors and flooring systems and ceilings, are studied at length. Architectural detailing in AutoCAD is a major focus of this course. Effective business practices as they relate to working with contractors, estimating, bidding and negotiation are further developed.
-
3.00 Credits
Color application exercises provide a study of the fundamentals of color theory and practice. Materials are given an in-depth examination of their origins, processing, best and poor uses, endangered species, LEED, sustainability and code issues. Installation and maintenance are also covered.
-
3.00 Credits
Classifications and characteristics of lighting types as well as technical information and terminology involved in the study of lighting design are covered. Various exercises provide opportunities to study layering, developing a lighting design matrix and lighting presentation techniques as well as energy codes, sustainability and day lighting. Field trips allow students to study specific installations and offer an introduction to working with a professional lighting designer.
-
3.00 Credits
Building upon the basics of lighting design established in the required lighting design course (Lighting Design, GRID 635), more complex and sophisticated scenarios are presented and resolved. Focus is given to typical and moderate to large-scale topologies, such as hotel settings, healthcare institutions, and retail stores. In the concluding weeks of the semester, students may select a typology of special interest to them, including an aspect of lighting design that is directly related to their thesis project.
