ID 2840 - Design Process + Planning Credits: 3 Course Type: Studio
This sophomore-level course introduces students to the design process as it relates to programming and spatial development. Emphasis is on programming methodology, problem-solving strategies, and the role of space planning for residential and small commercial spaces within the context of the relationship between human beings and their environment. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the ability to plan common residential and commercial spaces with considerations for physical and psychological factors, spatial relationships, functionality, safety, accessibility, and specific need.
Prerequisites: ID 1510 - Survey of Interior Design and ID 1710 - Drafting
Notes: (Formerly ID 2850)
