Interior Designer - Base Course

Purpose
The course prepares a technical figure, able to design and realise furnishings for (mainly private) homes, in a structural and decorative sense. The student who chooses the course for Interior Designer Base analyses the functional aspects of these structures and learns about implemental techniques and the organisational aspect of a project.

Aims
Our aim is to train a professional figure able to create, design and realise home settings (apartments, lofts, villas etc.) thanks to their knowledge of style, trends, materials and products, using manual and digital representation instruments (drawings and models).

Participants
The job-oriented courses are opened to all those, who regardless of their age and experience, wish to acquire or increase their technical skills and artistic ability in the area of interior design. In particular, the courses are aimed at:

• workers in the furnishings industry (production, design, retail)

• people qualified in technical or artistic subjects

• Architecture or Design students

Organisation Of The Job-Oriented Courses
The lessons are of a theoretical-practical nature; each topic covered is presented with concrete examples together with practical exercises in Interior Design Workshops. The teaching activities include the elaboration of a practical assignment - the interior design project of a home that will be presented and discussed in the final exam.

Teachers
The teaching body is made up of university professors, industry professionals and experts.

Admissions Criteria
Anyone who holds a secondary school leaving qualification may be admitted to the job-oriented courses. The full-time job-oriented courses have a fixed number of places: those interested can enrol from the 5th June - 20th July, 20 participants will be chosen on the basis of the admission test results.

The Five Teaching Aims

Communicate: provide technical-graphic procedures for the definition of design ideas.
Design: introduce the specific themes of modelling to transform ideas into prototypes.
Realise: present the most appropriate materials and techniques to materialise the creative idea in an execution project.

Final Exam
The exam consists of the presentation and discussion of the project elaborated during the course. The project will be shown through illustrations and scale models. A book with images of the intermediary phases and of the models produced will bear witness to the development of the project.
At the end of the chosen job-oriented course, students will receive a qualification certificate.
