Introduction:
A space or interior designer, practices a discipline, that looks after designing all aspects of the interiors
space making therefore this studio focuses to develop a deep understanding of habitable spaces
amongst the students. The studio aims to develop a deep understanding of space composition and
decoding the effect of interior spaces on user behaviour and psyche. The students will be
introduced to various elements of interiors spaces and analyse their effects. They will be exposed
to various case studies and design exercises to develop the good aesthetic sense with functionality
at core, also the students will be asked to highlight the contextual elements in various design
outcomes. The interactions will be done to emphasis on micro detailing of spaces like furniture,
reflective false ceiling, vertical elements- walls or partitions, flooring, colour theory, textures,
materials and services (HVAC, electrical and lighting). The effects of special elements in a space like
water body, indoor garden, special fittings or fixtures, use of textile, sculptures, artistic decorative
elements or other art works will also will emphasised on. At the end of this studio exercise students
will be able to evaluate their knowledge on the professional practice grounds of space or interior
designers.
