Interior architecture

If architecture is concerned with the large scale issues of the city, the specialisation of interior architecture considers the human scale and experiences inherent in the public and privates spaces of that city; it is an expression of our encounter with the world. As interior architects, we are concerned with authentic architectural experience, and the development of a multi-sensory approach to architectural space which facilitates a sense of belonging and integration. We create spaces from the point of view of the occupant or participant.

Interior architecture owes as much to the theory and practice of art, philosophy and psychology as it does to architecture and design. The Bachelor of Interior Architecture course focuses on cultural, institutional, commercial and domestic architectural space. A strong focus on creative, conceptual design is complemented by work on building construction and design communication skills for professional practice.

The interior architecture studio units are supported by specialist units in spatial theory, behavioural psychology, structures and services, building construction and materials, communication media, ergonomics, model making, furniture design, computer-aided design, professional practice and a strong industry based learning program.
