Course Objectives The aim of the course is to introduce the students to complex interior design within an existing social and economic context, examining particular building typologies both for old and/or historic structures and their possible re-adaptive use. This will be worked on in relation to a specific program brief. The brief will ask the students to consider human oriented design within contemporary ideas of emotional human/space interaction, the branding of commercial public space and complex environmental control systems. The students will learn to approach the project considering on one hand the construction problems related with the intervention on an existing interior environment, and on the other hand the social aspects of developing a pre-existing public place. Practical issues of detailing design and design communication will be dealt with. The students will learn to operate in an existing built environments through: 1. A comprehension of a design problem and a critical analysis of a brief/program in relation to the constraints of the built context and the functional interior spatial planning. 2. A comprehension and analysis of particular building typologies. 3. A careful approach and consideration of the principles of universal design, ergonomics and current material/technological design as applied in contemporary interior architecture (lighting systems, thermal comfort, etc.) 4. Awareness of the social economic and urban impact of the project within the broader context of the contemporary conurbation\n
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to solve specific problems of interior spaces of historical buildings which are open to public use,
  • will be able to work within a team in order to respond to the design problem given,
  • will be able to design by considering the norms, standards of ergonomy and universal design principles,
  • will be able to use the materials which were proposed in a project, in a right place and design the joint details of various materials,
  • will be able to design the lighting system,
  • will be able to produce the appropriate drawing standards which make a project understandable in technical manner.
Course Description In this course, the design adaptation of existing functions and possible introduction of new functions to an existing public commercial context will be analyzed considering the careful approach to the built environment, existing programs of use and any pre-existing cultural values inherent in particular buildings. Along with the design problem solving, all the information on standards, norms, materials and state of the art technology will be examined in detail.
