Program content
The core
Interior at our Master Interior Architecture is no niche, nuance or aspect of architecture, but a fundamental attitude towards the surrounding world. The core of this Master is the understanding of a place in all its manifestations before you start to transform it because of changing needs and requirements.
The first year
Your own atelier
In the first year, you will work in your own atelier, where you fulfil hypothetical assignments and where you evaluate your design process step-by-step with your lecturers. In these assignments, you will explore materiality, light, time, scale and composition.
Assignments
We start an assignment with excursions to different places, where you test these with your senses and explore it with our time’s state of mind, from within. You research the place’s anatomy, induce empathy and construct understanding. You formulate an intention of how to rebalance the choreography meaningfully and you exemplify the intended meaning as a built structure of explicit materiality. In these assignments, theoretical research and analysis play a key role.
Your graduation project
Final master assessment
In the second year, you will focus on your thesis and a final workpiece. Your graduation project is the final master assessment. With this assessment, you will prove that you are able to practice the profession. You will position yourself as an interior architect and present you to the outside world so that you can build the foundation for a future career. It also offers the possibility of a critical contribution to the debate on topical issues and is valuable for the further development of the field.
