Full course description

As a profession, interior design is typically divided into categories with the most obvious distinction being residential and commercial. While most designers work in both areas, many also specialize in one. This course is a broad overview of commercial design, which includes hospitality, workplace, retail and institutional design. Through lectures, class discussions and a simple project, students develop a basic understanding of the design process for non-residential projects, the key design and planning elements of a typical commercial design, materials and resources, and the different players, from client to contractors. A basic knowledge of drafting is recommended, but not required. Students will be provided with a supply list in the first class session.
