  • Welcome to the course!


    Course overview

    The Service Design for Interior Architects course (6 cr) provides an introduction to service design methods in the context of spatial design and interior architecture. We study the reciprocal relationship between space and services, learn basic service design methods and rehearse the application of the methods in interior architecture. The course has two elements: theory and method part that builds the knowledge base through lectures, reading tasks and weekly assignments, and design part where the methods are applied into a design project. The course is suitable to master's students from any area of design or architecture. However, 3D modelling skills and at least basic spatial design skills are required.
