Year 1: Foundational Design & Visual Language
The first year is dedicated to building the core artistic and theoretical language essential for all designers.
- Design Fundamentals: Master the principles of composition, color theory, light, and texture. Learn how these elements interact to define the mood and perception of a space.
- Manual Drafting & Technical Drawing: Develop a foundational skill in hand-drawn architectural plans, elevations, and sections. This mastery of line-work is crucial for precise spatial communication.
- Material Science: Explore the properties, sourcing, and application of construction materials, finishes, and textiles. Understand their durability, aesthetic potential, and environmental impact.
- Design History: A comprehensive study of architectural and interior design history, understanding how movements and styles have evolved to shape contemporary spaces.
Year 2: Spatial Planning & Technical Mastery
The second year shifts focus to the technical and functional aspects of interior architecture, emphasizing human factors and building systems.
- Space Planning & Ergonomics: Learn to organize layouts efficiently for flow and function. Understand human factors (ergonomics) to design spaces that are comfortable and safe for diverse users.
- Advanced Technical Drawing & CAD Introduction: Transition from manual drafting to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. Master the creation of detailed construction drawings and working documents.
- Building Services: Gain knowledge of integrated systems, including lighting design (natural and artificial), acoustics, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and plumbing.
- Furniture Design & Custom Joinery: Learn the principles of custom furniture design and detailed joinery, enabling you to design bespoke elements for your interiors.
Year 3: Commercial Design & Professional Practice
The third year introduces the complexities of commercial and specialized interiors, along with the business side of the profession.
- Commercial & Retail Design: Tackle the unique challenges of designing spaces like offices, restaurants, and stores, focusing on public use, branding, and regulatory compliance.
- Project Management & Budgeting: Learn the essential skills for managing large-scale projects, including timeline scheduling, contractor coordination, and detailed financial budgeting.

- Sustainability & Green Design: Focus on principles of sustainable interior design, including material choices, energy efficiency, and passive design strategies.
Year 4: Thesis, Portfolio, and Launch
The final year culminates in a specialized thesis project and the preparation of a professional portfolio.
- Thesis Project: Research, design, and present a complex, integrated project (e.g., a multi-functional public building or a new type of sustainable housing) that showcases your unique design philosophy and technical mastery.
- Professional Portfolio: Assemble a professional, industry-ready portfolio that features your best work, technical drawings, renderings, and conceptual development, preparing you for job interviews.
- Business Practice: Focus on career development, including networking, self-marketing, and establishing a professional design studio.
