From the design of a home interior, a public building or a mode of transport to an interactive exhibition, a theatre set or a virtual world, spatial designers have myriad opportunities at their fingertips.
Let your imagination soar.
More than just the design of buildings, spatial design is all about how people experience spaces.
It intersects with the more traditional design fields of architecture, landscape design, interior design, urban design and environmental design.
People inhabit the world in many ways, but we all have spaces where we live, work, play, relax, perform, gather, learn, heal, and celebrate.
The design of spaces affects how you feel, how you act, and how you interact with others.
Spatial design can improve the standard and quality of our lives, enrich our culture and national identity, and contribute to business success.
In spatial design studio courses, you'll learn to design for a host of spaces: private, public, retail, event, work, game, furnishing, experience, display, interface and performance.
You learn to use the latest technologies and approaches to design spaces at the required scale, from the big picture (eg urban planning) to the fine detail of construction and materials.
Note: Students starting in July may complete in 3.5 years, provided they complete Summer School in the first year.
