Overview

The first year presents small-scale problems that take the student through the total design process, from problem identification to graphic communication of the solution. Methods of making and craft are emphasized.

Second-year design studios focus on the development of scale and proportioning systems within the context of interior spaces. Communication skills are stressed.

Third- and fourth-year studio courses deal with typical interior environments, with emphasis on institutional and commercial interiors, but also including residential design, historic restoration, adaptive reuse, and interior product design. Attention is also directed toward the environmental needs of special populations.

The major requirement in IARc Experience courses (9 s.h.) offers students opportunities for educational experiences beyond the classroom in the form of study abroad, field study, practicum, design thesis, concentrated electives, or a second internship.

The Interior Architecture Internship provides opportunities for experiential learning in design practice through private design firms, government agencies, or health care facilities.

The Interior Architecture degree at University of North Carolina Greensboro extends the fundamental interest in human-environmental relationships of interior design with study of interior products, building forms, and systems. The program centers on the studio as a physical and intellectual place where students transform ideas into two- and three-dimensional form through continual development of models and drawings — an approach to design education typical of schools of design or architecture. Supplied with appropriate facilities, tools, and equipment, students build what they design.
