Master of Arts - Interiors (Architecture and Design)

Program Description MA Interiors (Architecture & Design) encourages creative investigation, experimentation and innovation in order to extend students' knowledge and skills in the creation of new environments. The potential of the ‘interior’ is explored across a range of contemporary contexts, through field research and interpretation, studio workshop and media practices, critical analysis and design. In the course students will develop their individual practice and approach to the design of interior spaces and places.

As public, political and commercial concern grows with the future suitability and sustainability of urban environments, the need for inspired and innovative leadership in the re-imagining, re-use and transformation of existing buildings and interiors becomes ever more urgent. This course is structured to allow students to identify and explore their own particular interests within interiors, enabling students to investigate examples of conceptual and spatial manifestation and application.

Students will generate propositions to test, demonstrate and explain their approach, and to develop in-depth strategies by which their ideas and proposals can be implemented. Students will challenge and redefine what constitutes the 'interior' through experimental learning, making, designing, critical analysis, and narrative techniques. Students will gain the relevant contemporary knowledge, advanced design skills and subject insights to develop, consolidate, apply and promote a personal design practice that can meet the tests and challenges of tomorrow.
