Boat Design Interior — Project

This short course delves into the practical application of boat interior design methods, taking you from theory to action. Starting with the initial idea, students develop complete projects, integrating ergonomics, comfort, materials, furniture, lighting and solutions specific to the maritime environment. Based on ‘learning by doing,’ the course combines fundamentals in vessel types and naval culture with practical exercises that combine design, engineering, and sustainability. The skills acquired enable students to design rigorous and sustainable nautical interiors, preparing participants for the contemporary naval design sector.

Skills

  • Identify naval typologies, technical terminology and characteristic elements of naval interior design.
  • Recognise regulations, suppliers, materials and quality standards applicable to the nautical environment.
    Interpret ergonomic, cultural and environmental concepts in the context of interior design for boats.
  • Translate technical information from design and spatial composition into practical solutions.
  • Use technical drawing techniques, mood boards, models and three-dimensional representations to develop real projects.
  • Apply principles of sustainability and circular economy in the selection of materials and design.
  • Analyse projects in their constituent elements, evaluating relationships between light, volumes, textures, furniture and functionality.
  • Critically evaluate design solutions in terms of user needs and the maritime environment.
  • Judge the technical, aesthetic and environmental quality of the projects presented, using criteria of analysis, synthesis and planning.
  • Participate in critical discussions (group critique) and interim reviews, offering and incorporating constructive feedback.
