Advanced representational theory and practice within an architectural context. This coursework will deeply examine contemporary tools, application strategies, representational formats, and presentation methods with increasing complexity and consequence regarding design, technology, and practice. Students will utilize an advanced hybrid of digital and physical tools in the analytical representation of existing works of architecture. Coursework visualizes architecture comprehensively as three-dimensional constructs and environments which become organized into two-dimensional visual information.

The interrelationship of light and color are explored in their relation to interior space, materials, form, and scale, and with regard to design principles. Lighting and color vocabulary, theory, and application are utilized in the creation of interior environments. Topics include daylight, shadow, artificial lighting systems and sources, material and surface response: reflection, refraction, absorption, and diffusion.

This interior design studio will explore the comprehensive applications of the design process in historic and/or global settings. The course will integrate user needs along with the functional and aesthetic design of an interior environment through means of installation, insertion and/or intervention. The studio focuses on connecting users to community, heritage, ritual, societal narratives, and issues surrounding historic structures.

Radical empathy in a human-centered design approach is introduced through an investigation of the extent to which interior design can support and shape behavior for a diverse set of users with varying, complex requirements. The course explores preconceived notions around the nature of design, not as a luxury but as a human right. Emphasis will be on the development of ethically conscious design decisions in space typologies that range from permanent, provisional, mobile and transient installations.
