This course encourages cross-disciplinary thinking and applied creativity to spatial, interior architectural and exhibition design practice. You will develop an enhanced ability to formulate and challenge exisitng design philosophies and practice in response to the question ‘what is the meaning of space?’ A holistic approach is taken to rigorous design thinking and the exploration of contemporary design practice in the context of the multi-disciplinary arena of spatial design. You will acquire a heightened understanding of its nature, role and place in the international market-place of today and the future. Embedded within the course structure is the opportunity for individual and collective reflection and the establishment of a contextual and philosophical viewpoint on spatial design thinking, interpretation and realisation.

UoH encourage you to evaluate and articulate the synergies to be found between intellectual, philosophical and commercial ideas and values, and their relationship to what may be considered ‘narrative and physical space’.
