Begin your journey into interior design by exploring how spaces are imagined and transformed, discovering your creative voice through hands-on design experiences.
Interior design is a constantly evolving discipline, expanding across a wide range of contexts and scales and opening the door to new professional profiles and creative opportunities. From domestic and leisure spaces to urban, natural, analog, and digital environments, interior design explores how space is inhabited, perceived, and transformed through materials, light, sound, narrative, and human experience.
This Interior Design Junior Course is conceived as an immersive introduction to this creative field, offering young students the opportunity to explore spatial design from a practical, experimental, and conceptual perspective. The program invites participants to observe, analyze, imagine, and design spaces while developing a critical and creative mindset.
While some students join the course with a clear interest in pursuing interior design in the future, others see it as a moment of discovery—an opportunity to explore different ways of thinking and working with space.
Information to decide
Explore interior design in a creative summer experience where ideas become projects and curiosity turns into spatial thinking.
The program is structured as a full immersion into the world of interior design, with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning. Through a series of practical exercises, students explore the fundamental tools and skills used by interior designers to conceive and develop spatial projects.
Classroom work is complemented by research, observation, and design development, allowing students to engage deeply with each exercise. Individual and collective experimentation, guided by lecturers, plays a key role in the learning process, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and active participation.
This program is aimed at young students between 15 and 18 years old who are curious about the world of interior spaces and want to explore whether interior design could be their future academic path.
It is especially suited to students with artistic or creative sensibilities, an interest in spatial environments, and a desire to understand the professional reality of interior design. The course also offers a valuable first academic experience, encouraging collaboration, idea-sharing, and creative confidence.
Interior Design – Junior is highly recommended for students considering pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design.
The curriculum is designed as a shared space and time framework that encourages connection, curiosity, and the exchange of individual perspectives. Throughout the course, students acquire essential knowledge and skills that allow them to begin developing their own personal approach to interior design, while gaining a realistic insight into the academic and professional context of the discipline.
Syllabus
Interior Design Research
This subject explores the relationship between space, the individual, and society, as well as how tangible and intangible elements contribute to the creation of atmospheres. Sustainability is addressed from a broad perspective, considering not only material choices but also production processes and their impact. The course also introduces the social and political responsibility of interior design in shaping both society and the environment.
Representation
Design is a creative process that requires the ability to analyze ideas and communicate them clearly. This subject focuses on developing representation skills that support observation, creativity, and communication. Drawing becomes a key tool for thinking, reflecting, and engaging in a continuous dialogue with the design process.
Conceptual Development
Designers communicate through concepts—condensed ideas that are later expanded through drawing, writing, and other creative techniques. In this subject, students learn to build and articulate concepts as a way of developing personal design language, supporting collaboration, and expressing the character and intention behind a project.
Space Design
Space Design is the core of the program, bringing together the knowledge and skills acquired in the other subjects. Starting from a 1:1 analytical exploration of a physical space, students gradually transform it into a digital and hybrid spatial proposal through guided design processes.
Research, analysis, creativity, representation, and play are used as key tools throughout this process. The continuous evolution of the project is documented in a hybrid record that becomes an essential part of each student’s first design portfolio.
