Interior Architecture is a specialism of architecture that focuses on transforming and enhancing existing buildings. As climate change becomes an increasingly important focus in architecture, Interior Architecture plays a pivotal role in preserving and reimagining existing structures rather than building anew, or designing sustainable solutions within newly constructed structures.

 

 As part of this programme, you will learn how to design the interior spaces that we live, work and learn in - from inspiring homes, retail experiences and leisure environments to places of learning, healthcare facilities and cultural spaces. 

 

Interior Architecture at MTU has three core strands of learning:

Design                     

You will explore the creative design process involved in developing high quality interior spaces. This will include learning about the design histories and theories of the interior, and how each design project responds to unique client and user needs alongside wider societal responsibilities.

 

Material and Technical Knowledge                        

You will learn about construction materials and technologies to allow you to develop technically proficient design proposals. This will include learning how materials, structure and construction techniques come together to form a coherent and expressive design.

 

Professional Practice                            

By preparing for professional practice and gaining practical experience through work placements, you will deepen your understanding of the contemporary industry and develop as independent, critical designers and future leaders. Interior Architecture is a dynamic and growing field, and our department is well-connected to the industry at regional, national, and global levels.
