In this course, students are acquainted with,materials used for the design of interior spaces,,both commercial and residential. Visits to,suppliers, product shows and guest lectures,designated by the instructor, are requirements of,the course. Products, information sources for,materials and finishes, their properties,,specification and installation techniques are,examined, in addition to building student,awareness of code regulations for interior,environments.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites:
Human perception of the environment influences,behavior, mood and productivity. In this course,,students develop awareness of ergonomics and,anthropometrics in terms of human dimensions and,movement.,Proxemics, the study of personal space needs, are,also explored while visual perception and dynamics,of color are applied in three-dimensional spaces.,The psychological needs of special populations,(impaired, elderly, children, etc.) are also,investigated. This course provides students with,an awareness of how human needs at home and in the,workplace influence design decisions and impact,quality of life.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites:
In this course, students advance the AutoCad,skills developed in AutoCad I to produce a,comprehensive set of CAD documents to coincide,with their studio project. This course develops,2D and 3D drafting skills to provide an,introduction to DIN 311. Custom built-ins,,millwork details, lighting design plans, as well,as finish schedules and specifications, complete,the set of drawings. Building systems (mechanical,,electrical, structural, etc.) are explored to,provide an understanding of building components in,residential and commercial structures and how,humans interact with their environments. The,documents developed will display inclusive and,universal design including ramps, access to,elevators etc.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: DIN 220
This studio introduces students to computer,modeling, rendering and animation of 3D forms,and the use of computers in applying textures to,surfaces within architectural interiors.,Lighting principles, camera placement and,movement introduce students to 3D modeling and,animation.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: DIN 270
This advanced studio emphasizes walk-through,animation of interior studio projects. Digital,output of stills and animation make strong,additions to senior portfolios. Students are,encouraged to depict diverse users applying,universal and inclusive design.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: DIN 311
This comprehensive design studio incorporates the,specialized attributes of lighting while creating,design solutions for a large-scale project.,Students apply AutoCad technology and knowledge of,building codes, universal and inclusive design,principles in presenting design solutions.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: DIN 270
The focus of this course is a comprehensive studio,design problem that involves a large-scale,commercial space. Projects require the application,of concepts of programming space analysis, ,inclusive design, planning and creative problem,solving. A set of plans, working sketches and,models, presentation materials and research, as,well as verbal presentations may be required.,Design issues to be resolved challenge students to,develop innovative solutions for the built,environment, while providing for the health,,safety and welfare of the public.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: DIN 311, DIN 351,DIN 363
In this course, students develop the ability to,package their collective body of work into a,family of marketing tools representing their,abilities as a designer. The course focuses on,the review, analysis, preparation, and/or,improvement of the student’s portfolio. Based on,personal goals and faculty assessment, students,develop mechanisms to market their skills. These,include developing a resume, looking at format and,layout, research for website design, print,,communications, and other appropriate personal,marketing material.
Credits: 1.5
Prerequisites: DIN 232
This course reviews the legal standards employed,by professional interior designers to determine,code requirements in primarily commercial,settings. Students develop an understanding of,the use of reference materials and research,procedures as they apply to interior design. BOCA,,NFPA, ADA and ADAAG are referenced, as well as the,International Building Codes.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites:
In this course, students learn about the,appropriate selection of lighting for,specification in interior environment,applications. Lighting principles and technologies,are facilitated through the design problems,created in the studios.
