ID 475 Advanced Issues

This course explores the process of advanced and current integrated design trends in Interior Design as related to whole building design. The design process is investigated from programming phases to design scheme completion, through lectures, case studies, and studio profiling. Students will be exposed to current methodologies to evaluate and quantify user needs, and provide for occupant health, safety, and welfare. These observations are used to inform the student to the potential content of a design scheme scope. The course will expose students to current trends in presentation styles, giving opportunity to display data, while utilizing creative methods of presentation. Information and research methods exposed within this course will help support thesis testing and analysis, through presentations and documentations.

Students in the course will explore advanced materials, computer software, and related modeling tools to expand their investigations related to their research and/or a focused area of interest within their individual thesis or studio projects. Students shall complete individual assignments, which focus on one or more areas of their research. This may be an exploration of a specific idea or concept within each assignment, such as sustainability, green design, universal design, POE (post occupancy evaluations), professional practice issues, and theoretical applications. A number of investigations should be explored to demonstrate the variable outcomes.

1. Demonstrate an advanced understanding of life safety evaluation and methodology. 2. Demonstrate a proficiency in advanced presentation and rendering applications. 3. Demonstrate and apply their understanding of, and exposure to, advanced building materials and finishes. 4. Demonstrate an advanced understanding of “Integrated Design” (which includes: Programming, Coordination of Fields, Codes, HVAC, Sustainability/Green Design, ADA/Universal Design, Professional Practice, and Theoretical Application). 5. Demonstrate an advanced understanding of Contract Documents, Specifications, and the documentation of the "design process" through the Contract Job Book.
