THEORY OF SPATIAL DESIGN

About this Course

Course Description

The course is a continuation of the Theory of Basic Design. An exploration of the three dimensional designs from the basic design elements to a more complex level. This involves the understanding of how form creates space and volume with exposure towards the quality of space, lighting, space organization, perception of space and space transformation, together with the basic design principles. The course also includes the knowledge of human factors and the environment that can be related to the design topics.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) The students should be able to demonstrate the form of ideas of opening, colors, materials and texture combinations that contribute to spatial quality context.
2 ) The students should be able to describe the comprehension of forms and spaces from linear elements and spatial relationships in space of interior designs.
3 ) The students should be able to organize vertical elements, planes and spatial organizations in interior design contexts.
