DipHE Interior and Spatial Design (Interactive Design Institute) DipHE
About the course
The course pursues a progressive and yet holistic teaching approach by design process that is not linear or sequential (i.e research first, design later) but based on various feedback systems that include skills development, manufacturing technologies, aesthetic judgment, scale iteration, 3D modelling, and evaluation protocols in a constant attempt to bridge academia and practice. We cultivate a learning environment as to support independent innovative and responsible designers with a thoughtful and imaginative approach to existing buildings and space making.
