DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for students with at least one year of interior design or architectural studies. Students are introduced to Italian interior design methodologies that often focus on the maximization and adaptation of small spaces. Students learn to appropriate the Italian and European tradition of reusing existing buildings as a tool towards designing new spaces. The projects in redesigning small spaces work towards developing problem solving skills as they relate to functionality and maximization of space.
In this course students will develop an interior design projects that despite their small scale will provoke students into focusing on design at 360°. Projects will be deeply connected to the urban context, and will force students to compare historical environments with contemporary design culture. Italian attitudes towards the urban landscape will be studied and will require students to engage in continual comparing and contrasting with this environment and as such will be the core of the course.
