Course Description
Interior Design Studio-3 is a design course specifically oriented towards Human-Centered Design and is based on solving simple multi-faceted design problems of low complexity; i.e. to design a familiar function within a relatively small area. The project type thus is a multi-space/multi-function residential space i.e. a studio apartment, villa or beach house. Each student is required to select a ‘real-life’ user, collect user-data through various research tools. In addition, all design-data such as ergonomics, design considerations and context data are collected through standard data books and best-design cases, site analysis among other resources. Through the three phases of the given project namely, Inspiration, Ideation and Implementation, the students gain wide scope of design thinking by applying the procedural Analytical Design Process that involves Needs-Context-Form. Students then develop their own design concepts and themes putting user-satisfaction as a priority.
In addition, this course practices Brain Based Learning in the field of visual design. It is designed in a way that effectively puts in consideration the capabilities of the individual student by first defining students’ visual capabilities then developing it. Dealing with beginner students, the goal of the design projects is to foster and nourish their intellectual, creative, graphic, and self-criticism skills
