Contemporary Design Theories 

The module educated us to become generally conversant in the principles of central theories, and will understand their terms and references. Through readings, lectures, and tutorial sessions, students will acquire the literacy required to perceive and articulate contemporary theoretical standpoints and will refine their research and writing skills through independent research into a particular aspect of recent interior architectural theory and history related to their concurrent studio design project. Close attention will be paid to the exchange between practice and theory and the relevance of the discussed theories to the formation of current circumstances, and to the place of interior architecture within contemporary culture as a whole.
