Interior design deals with the tangible and intangible realms of spatial experience. New technologies can further shape, stretch and manipulate the boundaries of this spatial experience and the ways in which people interact with material and digital space. Through the investigation of different technologies, such as advanced lighting, advanced digital representation, and interactive space, students explore and realise how these technologies can morph, shape and model interior spaces, contribute to the activities within such spaces and how these vary between interior environments.
Students undertake a generic project that introduces the new technologies and their inter-relationships, followed by a focused exploration into the directions of one of the selected technologies: interior lighting design, advanced digital representation or interactive space.
