Bachelor of Interior Architecture (Honours)

Interior architecture is a design discipline that focuses on interior environments and all aspects of their structural, spatial, social and material assembly. Interior architecture and interior design share a common ground but differ in the scale of intervention while interior architecture includes the manipulation of structural elements such as walls, floors and staircases, interior design generally engages at the scale of individual rooms. In this degree you will learn to develop creative solutions that respond to current societal and functional aesthetic challenges in the built environment spaces that may be permanent or temporary, from the scale of rooms to the scale of cities.
