Summary
Interiors is a dynamic and nimble discipline which moves between the fields of architecture and design, creating diverse responses that have a strong desire to improve the lives of those who interact with existing buildings and interior space.
You will investigate and interpret interior space, inside and outside of the traditional architectural envelope, considering adaptive re-use, human occupation, spatial experience and social innovation as potential catalysts for design propositions.
Projects may manifest in a variety of outcomes and allow you to work in depth in your chosen speciality such as interior architecture, commercial interior design, exhibition design, branded environments, environmental graphics, performance or set design, temporary installations or ‘event’ design, furniture or artefact design.
Interiors students are best characterised by their ability to underpin conceptual enquiry and intellectual curiosity with design/architectural theory, combined with strong technical knowledge and communication tools. Collaboration, and the ability to work with a variety of disciplines, is a strong aspect of the course.
Features and Benefits - Specialist workshops in Manchester School of Art - including wood, metal, textiles and glass - provide students with opportunities to explore materiality, fabrication and realisation of ideas.
-
Studio teaching is underpinned by design research methodologies and engagement with industry.
-
This course has strong affiliation with Design Cluster MA’s. Students engage in shared design ‘Options’ unit with all postgraduate design students, which offers cross-faculty learning opportunities.
