In Scenographic Spaces: The Theatre of Retail, Interior Architecture Design Studio 4, students design an immersive scenographic retail environment. Students learn to translate conceptual ideas into a contemporary setting with the aim to activate spaces, objects and people and to create a unique, experiential interior. Deliverables include: sketches, drawings, models, visual storyboards, digital media, and technical plans.
Narrative-oriented design is foregrounded and supported by historical and contemporary interior architecture detail and object research. Physical and digital models, in addition to digital media and moving images, are important tools for experimentation, iteration, and representation in the common history of architecture and theatre. This studio teaches a broad understanding of historical and current scenographic and interior architecture practice, as well as a specific and detailed knowledge of the scenographic language and techniques currently employed by major players in the field. Finally, students experiment with and develop their individual and creative design language in concept and representation.
