Interior Architecture I

Student Learning Outcomes, Goals, Objectives:

1. Students will have:

   Exposure to a range of problem identification and problem-solving methods.

   Opportunities for innovation and risk taking.

   Exposure to methods of idea generation and design thinking.

2. Student work will demonstrate the ability to:

   Apply human factors, ergonomics, and universal design principles to design solutions.

   Apply wayfinding techniques to design solutions.

3. Student work will demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge and skills learned to:

   Solve progressively complex design problems.

   Identify and define issues relevant to the design problem.

   Execute the design process: pre-design, schematic design, and design development.

   Synthesize information to generate evidence-based design solutions (if applicable).

   Understanding the importance of evaluating the relevance and reliability of information and research impacting design solutions.

4. Students will effectively apply the elements and principles of design and related theories throughout the interior architecture curriculum to:

   Two-dimensional design solutions.

   Three-dimensional design solutions.

5. Students will address issues related to light and color as follows:

   Students understand strategies for using and modulating natural light.

   Demonstrate an understanding of color in relation to materials, textures, light, and form.

6. Student work will demonstrate the ability to appropriately:

   Select and apply color to support design concepts.

   Select and apply color to multiple design functions.

7. Student work will demonstrate an understanding of:

   How furnishings, objects, materials, and finishes work together to support the design intent.

   Appropriate design or specification of products and materials in relation to project criteria and human and environmental wellbeing.

   Students select and apply products and materials on the basis of their properties and performance criteria, this may include ergonomics, environmental attributes, life safety, and life cycle cost.

   Students are able to design, and specify a broad range of appropriate products, materials, objects, and elements in support of the design intent.

8. Construct artistic/intellectual goals that are evident in their work.
