The importance of a compelling, customer-driven design story as the basis for interior work is stressed. Students are expected to employ advanced thinking in terms of aesthetics, primary research, inclusive human factors, design theory and brand experience. The presence of corporate sponsors along the way will promote a process that has real-world career relevance. The use of virtual reality and animation will further ensure the students’ understanding of the interior space and the interaction of a diverse cross section of users with their design solutions. Occasionally, course content may be reinforced through field trips to professional design studios or factories.
