  • 6.00 Credits

    This advanced studio emphasizes the resolution of complex design issues in the context of commercial and business interiors. Students analyze a program, ecological and environmental factors, develop a design concept, and proceed with a completed design that incorporates advanced technological and sustainable design principles. Holistic development of concept, sustainable design solutions, large-scale space planning, materials, construction details, lighting design, building systems, building codes, handicapped accessibility and furnishings is emphasized in the completed design presentation. Prerequisites: grade of "C" or better in INTD-301, andapproval of the instructor or program director
  • 3.00 Credits

    This mandatory course will focus on the understanding and application of a broad range of mechanical, electrical, lighting, acoustical, plumbing, HVAC, security and other building systems in the context of interior design. Students will be introduced to the nature and characteristics of fire detection, protection and suppression in building interiors. The critical role of interior building systems in establishing and maintaining the health, safety and welfare of users will be emphasized. Prerequisites: INTD-206 and INTD-202
  • 3.00 Credits

    Following CAD Visualization I: Digital Modeling, this required course focuses on two-dimensional design communication and documentation utilizing AutoCAD software for computeraided drafting. Students will be exposed to AutoCAD commands and techniques, which are most likely to be used in a professional office setting. Students will have an opportunity to produce a set of interior-design working drawings and to further their knowledge of professional interior-design construction and specification documents. Prerequisite: ARCHDSN- 208, INTD-206, INTD-301
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course introduces the role of textiles in the creation of commercial and residential interiors. Key topics include the selection, specification and application of textiles based on their properties and performance criteria; sources of textiles and fabrics; the concept of sustainable resources; appropriate installation methods and maintenance requirements of textiles in interior applications; codes; regulations and standards related to use of textiles in interiors; and estimating material requirements such as carpeting, wallpaper and ceiling finishes. Prerequisite: INTD-201 or permission of the instructor
  • 3.00 Credits

    This elective focuses on developing the setting for the action of a play. The set designer develops many of the same skills exercised by architects/interior designers: mastery of design fundamentals, understanding of time and place, knowledge of construction techniques and awareness of how people use space. Steps to creating the stage set will include: careful reading and discussion of selected plays, surveying an existing stage, assisting in the construction of a stage set and attending assigned performances. Prerequisites: grade of "C" or better in both ARCH-301 and ARCH- 302 or LARCH- 302, or grade of "C" or better in INTD-302
  • 3.00 Credits

    This beginning-level elective course is intended to provide students with a basic knowledge of the aspects involved in furniture design. The goal is to expose students to the various means through which one engages in product design. Emphasis is on the fabrication process in addition to prototyping, testing and revision. The course consists of readings, brief lectures, class discussions and studio projects that cover the range of information that designers need to know to be able to specify, design and evaluate furniture-related products for the built environment. A significant amount of class time will be devoted to the development, design and revision of projects. Prerequisite: grade "C" or better in ARCH-201 or INTD-201
  • 6.00 Credits

    This studio course explores the full range of contract design. Emphasis is on creating a corporate identity through the development of design concept. The semester-long project provides opportunities to analyze client, program and complex work environments. Students develop conceptual models, adjacency diagrams, complex space plans and 3-D modeling. Concept is further integrated into the design through the selection and design of materials, furniture and lighting. Industry standards are addressed and integrated along with building code requirements, accessibility requirements and economic and maintenance issues. The semester-long project culminates in a detailed and complex final presentation. Prerequisite: grade of "C" or better in INTD-302
  • 2.00 Credits

    In this seminar, the interior design student will analyze the specialized services performed by the professional designer by studying the administrative, legal, ethical and financial aspects of professional practice. Contract documents, specifications, safety standards and building codes will be studied within the context of a non-residential (contract) design project. Prerequisite: INTD-206 and grade of "C" or better in INTD-302
  • 3.00 Credits

    This is an elective lecture/lab course in which students work with period and historic spaces. The course introduces students to theories and techniques of adaptation and preservation of period spaces, preserving their historical integrity. The course will deal with applicable building codes, National Park Service standards of rehabilitation, designing within ADA guidelines and use of appropriate materials and lighting. Prerequisites: ARCH-211 or LARCH- 207; AHIST- 305 or LARCH- 307; and ARCH-202, LARCH- 202 or INTD-202
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course gives students the opportunity to assess their inclinations in the field and to select a project that addresses them. Students are expected to generate an individualized program for design development. This program, the thesis document, will be the result of analysis and clear definition of project parameters. The process of generating this document will recapitulate and augment the programming process, which students have been exposed to in previous interior design studios. Prerequisites: grade of "C" or better in INTD-302, andapproval of the faculty and program director
