INTRODUCTION TO INTERIOR DESIGN
Discovering the evolution of living space.COURSE DESCRIPTION
Lifestyle, art and design research in Milan is used to develop an interior space plan. Studio work and field trips foster the conceptual development of possible interior layouts resulting in one original interior space design.Living spaces are the results of complex factors interacting together.
Measurable distances, material quality, density and color, noise and rhythm all contribute to the identity of a place.
