Interior Architecture

Critically engage with the design and adaptive reuse of existing spaces as you prepare for socially responsible interior architecture practice or further study.

Designing for a greener future
It’s vital to address the ethical implications and environmental impact of demolishing and building anew, especially in response to the ongoing climate crisis. This degree promotes a responsible use and conservation of built resources by taking a multidisciplinary approach to the adaptive reuse of existing structures.

As part of this course, you’ll:

• Draw on architecture and landscape, as well as art and design, and critically engage in interior practice

• Create spaces that can become the location for significant individual and collective experiences

• Study in a supportive environment and work in a well-equipped studio at our City Campus in the centre of Leeds

• Learn about the histories and theories of interior architecture and understand the cultural contexts influencing spatial design

• Develop clear arguments and design creative and adaptive reuse projects in response to set briefs or your own ideas

• Learn about the right materials and construction methods while building an understanding of the environmental impact of working with existing structures

• Work independently to manage tasks and take responsibility for planning and completing individual and group projects
