BA (Hons) Interior Architecture Bachelor's degree at Middlesex University

An introduction to the fundamentals of design thinking and communication that enables you to prompt design ideation.

A studio-based module is an introduction to the spatial principles of the interior through a series of design tasks that enables you to understand the design process.

A studio-based module is an exploration of the cultures and contexts of the interior that allows you to focus on forms of inhabitation and placemaking.

A studio-based module focuses on designing for people and place, with an emphasis on the impact of spatial interventions on human inhabitation.

Focusing on research methods and practices to inform design thinking, the module explores how people interact with their environment. Through the close analysis of case studies and critical discourse you will be introduced to current societal issues and emerging ideas in professional practice, to explore the public interior as a shared space within the urban realm that is impacted by design intervention.

This module focuses on designing and communicating public interiors to address the interaction between people and their environment. You support your proposals through contextual analysis, translating research findings into design projects.

This module develops an understanding of the critical role of in-depth research into the cultural, historical, political, and socio-economic contexts that underpin the practice of interior architecture, alongside the investigation of materials, construction technologies, and processes that are integral to shaping interior spaces and enriching the experience of interior environments.

This module enables you to test and apply spatial design methods and practices to re-imagine the field of interior architecture practice. Working with and within existing buildings, contexts and communities, students address real-world challenges through their interpretation of the physical environment and its underlying narratives.

You will gain employment experience to provide an insight into the work, methods and operation of a professional design practice.

This module introduces you to advanced research methods and practices that synthesise knowledge, understanding and critical analysis of interior architecture as a research-led practice. Through in-depth site investigation alongside critical enquiry into adjacent contexts and issues, the module captures new knowledge and frame major project proposals.

This module equips you with the knowledge and skills to interpret and explore the reuse of existing buildings and sites as a sustainable practice. From initial investigations into the local environment, through brief development and design ideation to the iteration of design proposals and outcomes, you will devise and test architectural interventions that foster social cohesion and inform the creation of a new social interface.

This module will develop your skills by helping you explore research themes and creative pathways through strategic, detailed design development and illustrative representation; analyse context and site, and engage with local communities to identify a cause or issue, and implement appropriate research-led design methods and practices to unlock and inform project proposals.

This module will develop your skills by enabling you to develop complex design proposals that consolidate all aspects of your learning. This module will encourage empathetic engagement with context and community, you will reconfigure a selected site, proposing new uses that challenge how space is inhabited and experienced.
