Interior Architecture and Furniture Design Royal Academy of Art, The Hague

Overview

We focus on spatial conditions to shape our daily living environment, being part of the eco-system of planet earth. We use the programme as a research laboratory and experimental space for interaction in the social field, in materials, in techniques and other forms of knowledge. 

Overview

We see architecture and design not as a control mechanism, but companions in developing environments that meet desires and needs of living together on a damaged planet. What is the relationship between human beings, and other species and materials on their habitat, earth? What types of communication, dependencies and co-operations are possible amongst each other and, last but not least, how can this be addressed and reflected in spatial practice?

The study programme of Interior Architecture and Furniture Design is organised in five domains: Studio, Media & Materials, Independent Practice, Professional Practice and Context. 

During your studies at Royal Academy of Art, The Hague you will develop an independent mindset, a critical design attitude and strong empathy skills. By combining the scientific and knowledge-based part with a poetic, imaginative and narrative part, we give you the opportunity to overcome ingrained systems and mechanisms that in the service of capitalism. 

We work with professionals from fine arts, architecture and design who teach you with their practical and theoretical experience. They guide you on your way to independent practice. After your first year you can choose elective courses in either Interior Architecture or Furniture Design to further sharpen your designer's profile.
