Interior Architecture Studio

Late Summer | 6 credits | Study Tour:

Studio focuses on Interior Architecture design in a Danish context, developing a concept and project design within an existing structure. Students create a design strategy shaping interior space and user experience. Through a series of assignments, students develop their skills in conceptual design, representation, model-making, and communication.

Studio groups combine students of different standing and background. The course is taught vertically, and expectations relate to each individual student.
