43835 - Interior Architecture (B)

Course contents

The course is intended to address the issues of construction of the inner space of the architecture of the House in the face of a growing demand for quality living spaces. The quality and recognition of architectural interior space will be the subject of targeted insights looking for appropriateness between architectural theme, measure, the proportion and size of its interior spaces compared to its distinctive and to the theme of light. To this end, particular attention will be dedicated to the identification and clarification of the primary elements of the room, or a series of rooms, necessary to define a suitable internal space needs for which it was designed, both through the study of mobile furniture elements and through the components of fixed furniture. Interior architectural design involves the themes of space and structural definition of one or more rooms, the character and their use, and the issue of materials. Issues that can be summed up in the theme music of the narrative: the orchestration of a series of rooms linked together and able to promote a spatial dimension, evocative and emotional at the same time places inside the House.The importance of teaching of interior architecture can become a way to reinforce the themes of the architecture of the House. Architectural interiors can be understood themselves as small architectures.

One of the two modules that make up the course was held by Arch. Elisa Bandini.
