An introduction to design process and programming as related to the development of interior design and application within the planning and shaping of interior architecture. Students begin with a design problem, and see it through the various phases of research, programming, ideation, implementation and final analysis in design process thinking. For Interior Architecture programming addresses more specifically space planning and analysis of space to meet client needs. Concept statements, project statements, adjacency studies and diagrams are used as tools to help students analyze and develop a program in response to a given problem. Human dimensions, physiological and psychological aspects of the environment are studied as well as issues related to sustainable design, code issues, and ergonomic concerns are addressed.
