Transcription

1 DELAWARE COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN 600 N MARKET ST WILMINGTON DELAWARE INTERIOR DESIGN (as of 10/1/12) INTERIOR DESIGN MISSION The program combines theoretical exploration and practical experience. Students begin by learning how to develop strong design concepts. Proceeding through the curriculum, they accumulate skills necessary to transform their ideas into creative and functional designs. Students explore space planning, furnishings and materials, color and lighting, as well as basic construction systems and building code requirements. Drawing on the rich design resources of the region, the faculty is composed of active, practicing professionals in the field. Graduates leave DCAD with the basic knowledge and tools to continue their professional education. INTERIOR DESIGN GOALS To explore the impact of interior environments on individuals and groups and create socially responsive interior designers. To teach students to turn ideas and visual representations into usable spaces. To develop the student s personal design approach. To teach students the history of design and to help them understand the relationship of design and society. Program Competencies / Program Student Learning Outcomes (PC) aligned with the Liberal Arts/General Education Competencies: 1) Oral Communication, 2) Written Communication; 3) Quantitative Reasoning; 4) Critical Thinking; 5) Information Literacy 6) Technology; 7) Global Citizenship; 8) Visual Literacy 1.

(LA 1,2,4,5,7,8) INTERIOR DESIGN PROGRAM COMPETENCIES (PC) 1. Learn and apply the basic design principles for use in interior spaces. These include volume, void space, surface texture, color and tone for use in two and three dimensional formats. 2. Produce formal analysis and demonstrate conceptual development in their projects. Students analyze existing site conditions, program and historical masterworks through diagrams, drawings and renderings. 3. Create a cohesive space plan. Space planning is covered in each design project and includes organization of programmatic elements through sequencing, spatial flow, movement and circulation patterns for single and multi-level structures. 4. Apply color and lighting techniques to design projects. Students demonstrate the use of color and lighting for interiors by examining color theory, color harmony, the psychology of color and light and through practical applications in projects. 5. Demonstrate a basic understanding of building systems for interiors through assignments and projects. They also examine basic interior design professional practices. 6. Connect verbal and visual presentation techniques. In preparing hand drafted and computer based plans drawings students construct a variety of projection systems. They also create scale models in a variety of media. 7. Create design projects that incorporate the student s analysis of historical connections, architecture, decorative arts and interior design for use in visual analysis and in design projects.

2 Course: ID 201, I Prerequisites: Drawing II, 3D II Credits: 4 Course Description: Students approach reality based design projects through a process of analysis and conceptual development. The studio starts with an exploration of drawing as an expressive and analytical tool. As students develop the tools they need to design spaces, they define clear, believable programs for commercial and residential uses. After analyzing site and program conditions they establish a design concept, proceed with design development and create final presentations using hand drawn techniques,3d models and material boards.
