Course structure
There are two ways of attending this course. You may follow a three-semester full-time programme, ie two six-month semesters in the studio, followed by a one-semester research project. Or some students choose to the part-time route which typically takes 30 months.
Areas of study
During semester 1 the projects set for the preliminary design module provide an opportunity for students returning to education to take stock of their position, to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, and to identify ambitions for future study. Lecture courses in Technology, Critical Readings and Research Methods run in parallel.
By semester 2, work undertaken for the main design module consolidates and extends the priorities, ideas and strategies established in the preliminary design.
Lecture series in Technology and Critical Readings continue. A proposal for the final research project is developed and submitted.
The whole of semester 3 is taken up by a self-directed research project, the Master Work.
The course explores both the intellectual idea and the spatial language of interior environments. Students develop new skills whilst extending existing design practices in order to precisely articulate spatial design proposals.
At least one study trip is offered each year. The study trip might be site related to the design studio and/or a trip that offers students direct exposure and experience of some of the most contemporary spatial designs projects in Britain and Europe.
