Introduction
Spatial and Interior design is an expanding field, moving beyond the fixed spaces of retail and urban environments to include independent structures and the utilization of existing spaces in advertising and marketing, public and commercial infographic campaigns (visual communication of information).
You will learn the skills to transform existing urban spaces and design temporary or ephemeral architecture for festivals, celebrations, promotions, and other interventions. Exploring different cultural perspectives on design and understanding how creative agencies operate globally, for example at mega events such as Expo, World Cup, and Olympics and international trade fairs and festivals.
You will explore and exploit the digital age, developing a responsive practice where you are proficient in working in 2D, 3D, and 4D – with moving images.
