The Design Principles and Color Theory course covers the fundamental concepts, processes, and elements of interior architectural design, with a dedicated focus on the practical and psychological application of color. Students will explore the systematic design process from problem definition and programming to spatial development. Through lectures, field visits, and hands-on assignments, students will analyze core design elements—specifically form and space—alongside foundational principles including balance, proportion, harmony, rhythm, and emphasis. A major component of the course is dedicated to color theory, dimensions, psychology, and strategic application (such as the 60-30-10 rule) within interior environments. Students will synthesize learning through study visits, reflections, and oral project presentations.
This course provides students spatial visualization. Students will be learning how to manipulate 3D objects by application of architectural draft. Students will develop the skill of drawing tools like pencil, compasses, rulers, and understanding CAD software for precise drawings.
After completing the course, students will have the skill of problem-solving by applying geometric principles to solve real-world design presentation.
This course introduces students to digital drawing techniques for interior design, with a strong focus on 2D drafting using AutoCAD and a basic introduction to 3D spatial modeling.
Students will develop skills in producing professional interior design drawings, including plans, elevations, sections, and detailed drawings. The course emphasizes drawing standards, technical accuracy, and design integration.
Basic 3D modeling is introduced to help students understand spatial relationships and visualize interior spaces.
