Introduction to Interior Architecture Studio is first in the IA studio series. Students focus on interior form and color as well as the strategies required to create supportive interior environments that are responsive to human needs. Additionally, this course introduces design process and programming which includes design concept development, ideation, and space planning. With this, design presentation layout skills are developed. Concept statements, project statements, adjacency diagrams, and scaled drawings are used as tools to help students analyze and develop a program in response to a design problem.
