Interior Design Program
Program Curriculum | Interior
Design Portfolio
The Interior Design program provides an approach
based on the premise that a successful interior designer must
be sensitive to both esthetics and practicality, and must be aware
of the designer's potential impact upon the total interior environment.
Courses dealing with space design, color, lighting structure,
furniture design, history of interiors, history of art, business
procedures, and other pertinent subjects are all essential to
the realization of these expectations.
Interior Design majors may look forward to career opportunities
in various sectors, including the industrial, residential, retail,
and corporate, and the public and private sectors in general.
For example, large department stores, or chains of such stores,
employ interior designers in staff positions to deal with all
manner of merchandise arrangement and display, including the reorientation
of store/floor environments. Interior designers may also establish
their own design services and execute commissions ranging from
residential room arrangements to restaurant and corporate office
design. There are also large corporations that employ staff interior
designers to service the adjustment of work environments and of
staff relocation. Moreover, architectural firms and independent
architects regularly employ interior designers to cope with space
planning and other environmental design necessities in structures
as diverse as sports stadiums and museums.
In the contemporary world of business, the interior designer,
like the graphic designer, plays an integral part in projecting
the corporate image to the public. Salaried job opportunities
exist in all of these types of business activity and may provide
the basis, with increased experience, for individual contracting.
The Paier Interior Design graduate will be able to enter supervised
roles in these fields and move swiftly to more independent roles
if desired. |
