This well-established, hands-on course focuses on the design of interior spaces within existing buildings, and on design that links human activities and events to specific places and spaces.
You’ll participate in a vibrant studio culture, sharing ideas and techniques. Using drawing, model-making, film and mixed media, you will explore the re-imagining of space for new or different purposes while developing a critical understanding of the experience of space.
There are multiple pathways through the course, enabling you to develop the passions you bring with you by learning new techniques while maintaining your unique creative identity. Our Future Practice module supports you in determining the design contribution you wish to make to society upon graduation.
Each year there are optional field trips and live projects that expand your architectural and spatial design knowledge. Students also have the opportunity to help to run the Brighton Interior Architecture and Architecture Student Society (BIAAS) organising lectures, events and exhibitions
