Design Theory and Process
X443.2 (1 semester unit in Architecture)
Students are introduced to the theoretical perspectives of architecture and designers who create interiors. This class defines the major characteristics of a psychological and body-conscious perspective on interiors. Starting from this "inside" point of view, students develop a full range of qualities they would like to apply to the "external," material world through a series of design problems. Course includes guest lectures by Jader Tolja, M.D., from the Domus Academy in Milan and author of
Bodythinking.
Prerequisites: Introduction to Interior Design X408.4 and Principles and Elements of Design X412.1 or consent of instructor.
