This subject requires the student to develop an understanding of the way interior space in non-Western cultures has developed and how modern approaches in the design of interiors have emerged from these traditions. Through a series of lectures, tutorials, site visits, case studies, and research and design projects, the student develops an understanding of the way interior design practice may be explored to incorporate these systems of thinking. This subject places design as a physical manifestation of culture in the context of social, economic and spiritual concerns, and the student is required to personally explore the way the design process may include ordering principles that set design as expressing human concerns within spiritual beliefs.
