Undergraduate in Design
Interior Design
In Interior Design you will find appropriate technical, historical and cultural preparation. You'll be able to explore different forms of spatiality and ways of experiencing them. Through ideation and drawing, modelling and digital models, you'll have the opportunity to design and develop equipment and work on the lighting dimension, intervening in various types of environments. Between the home and the commercial space, the permanent and the ephemeral, you'll be able to create new forms of intervention for future ways of living.
