    Textile composition finishes, styles, and appropriate uses will be addressed in this course. Students will study where the fibers originate, the various methods used to make these fibers into cloth, and how to specify the final product for interior design finish applications. Knowledge gained will include how textiles are applied to surfaces (i.e. walls, furniture) or made into window treatments and other uses. Also included are the safety factors to be considered in specifying textiles and related applications, as well as the testing methods used to address these factors. Knowledge of sustainable textile applications and how textiles impact accessibility will be addressed as well.

    In this course students will expand on their kitchen and bath design skills, as well as gain skills in custom millwork design. Completion of residential spaces that require custom millwork, including paneling, stair rails, and custom cabinetry will be undertaken. Students will complete a high custom residential interior design which requires custom millwork use throughout each type of space in the home. This design will include sustainable principles and adhere to universal design guidelines. In addition students will research and apply principles of "smart house" technology into their designs. The course will include a juried final power point presentation using digital boards.
  • 4.50 Credits

    This course enables the student to understand the presentation of design elements associated with ephemeral and transient events such as exhibitions, conventions, displays and set design. Selection of materials, budgeting, construction methods, dismantling, storing and transportation techniques will be integrated in the design process and final design. Presentations to include working drawings, models and detailing.
  • 4.50 Credits

    In this course students will learn the basics of business practices for the interior design industry. Students will learn to use standardized business forms for running an efficient cost effective design business, bookkeeping basics, scheduling, and marketing for a design business.

    In this course, architectural drafting techniques, knowledge of product specification, and use of programming skills are applied to complete a set of architectural working drawings. This drawing package will include the design of a floor plan for a given space, construction details, elevations, and sections, as well as finish, door, and window schedules of the designed space. RCP layouts and switching plans and finish specifications will complete the working documents package. Completion of this package should allow actual construction of the built environment with minimal clarifications. Learning methods will include lecture, field trips, guest speakers, and hands-on application of technique. Final package completion of the working documents will be critiqued in a group interaction round table, to include industry professionals. Prerequisite:    IDIA 311
  • 4.50 Credits

    This course continues to build on the fundamentals of Computer-Aided Design I. Students can develop competencies in the production of drawings that require advanced levels of drawing commands and techniques for modeling 3D spaces, and then move on to familiarize with appropriate software for rendering. Emphasis is given to dimensioning systems, printing techniques, the preparation of construction documents, and developing production speed and efficiency.
