Interior Architecture students gain insights from local professionals |
|
|
| Fall Interior Architecture (IA) studio reviews were a culmination of weeks of research, problem-solving, and hands-on construction. Throughout the semester, students used analog and digital tools to design, analyze, and visualize high-performance interior environments.
Second-year students developed proposals for a co-working office space and third-year students developed a memory-care facility and a child development center. For their final reviews of the semester, students presented projects to professionals representing area architecture and design firms.
