Interior Designers need to have a comprehensive understanding of building construction in order to create interiors and buildings that are not only attractive, but are also structurally sound. It is important for Interior Designers to understand how building materials are manufactured and how they are used in the building process, as this enables them to specify the correct materials to be used, as well as to communicate effectively with the construction team. This knowledge will also help Interior Designers to monitor the quality of the workmanship during the building process.
This course will also introduce students to the History of Architecture. This subject includes extensive information about architecture styles and movements of the past and present, and will provide students with an endless source of inspiration for creating innovative designs in the future.
