课程特征 Course Features:
The MA Interior Architecture and Design has been developed in response to the demand for qualified professionals equipped to address advanced design challenges of the 21st Century.
This course:
•offers a bespoke learning experience – choose your own pathway
•benefits from strong links with industry
•offers extensive opportunities to work on live design projects.
The course develops skilled professionals qualified to solve and manage complex problems related to interior architecture from advanced cultural, environmental and design perspectives.
For example, these may be related to sustainable urban contexts, sustainable material technology and component design, architectural conservation, exhibition / museum design in the digital age or learning environments for the future.
The course is part of a multidisciplinary framework with MSc Architectural Technology and Design and MA / MSc Smart Design.
课程内容 Course Content:
This course will develop the principles and techniques necessary for creating innovative design solutions to a range of problems. You will also gain a broad understanding of newly developing material technologies and related optional subject areas to enable you to push design to its extremes.
Course structure
In response to industry demand, the course is structured around the core themes of design, technology and management.
Within these themes there are several industry specific specialisms which provide a focus, enabling you to gain a deeper understanding and will form the basis for all project-based modules:
•Design
•Planning
•Digital Architecture
•Conservation
•Refurbishment
•Statutory Control
In addition to subject specific modules a Research Methods module is undertaken to underpin a final major study project.
There is also the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary projects with students on other courses within the School.
Skills audit and learning pathway agreement
Prior to starting on the course we will undertake a skills audit which will appraise levels of understanding and knowledge in the context of the course and will help direct specialisms and inform individual learning pathway agreements.
The learning pathway agreement summarises and directs the outcomes of your major study project. This agreement defines the bespoke nature of your pathway and determines the award.
Through this you will be able to make decisions as to the balance of written / project work that you wish to undertake, giving you the ability to work to individual strengths. You can additionally select modules to suit your chosen career pathway, these include conservation, refurbishment, digital architecture, materials and psychology of space.
How do you study?
Teaching and learning methods include lectures, seminars, tutorials, critiques, case studies, workshops, site visits and field trips. Project work will be individual and group based.
There will be input from external professional organisations to bring you into contact with specific up to date, high quality expertise.
In addition to the delivery of design, management and technical knowledge, the course also pays special attention to developing key skills in independent learning and research.
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment:
The ethos of combining theory and practice is strongly reflected in the nature of assessments. All assessment is coursework based, requiring students to undertake practical work together with research and critical evaluation to demonstrate the link between theory and practice.
其他 Others
The multi-disciplinary approach on the course will open doors for graduates to work in a variety of roles within design, architectural and construction practices
