The Interior Design programme provides students with a clear understanding of three dimensional design analysis, in terms of detail, scale/proportion, spatial sequence and other architectural components.
The programme further encourages students to develop a thorough and imaginative approach to creative problem solving in the context of any human environment.
Lateral design approaches are developed in which briefs are solved at a variety of levels and with an integrated experimental approach to problem solving. Design briefs encourage the students to engage with design influences such as: economics, ergonomics, anthropometrics, cultural influences, social context and location.
Through challenging project briefs and well-equipped lectures, learners are introduced to the applications of Interior Design which include: drawing, presentation, surveying, material studies, construction, specifying, context and history of design, draughting and computer-aided design (CAD).
With the emphasis on the design process (research, analysis, synthesis and evaluation), DSSA’s Interior Design qualification helps make young talented South African designers more competitive in a global economy and equips them for progression in the industry.
