COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

General Education Objectives
The Philosophy in the Interior Design Program is founded primarily upon the general education philosophy of the college as published. We commit to foster in all Mount Ida students the following abilities, attitudes and areas of knowledge:

· to communicate clearly and effectively
· to apply critical thinking and problem solving skills
· to access information
· to work independently and in a team situation
· to acquire a commitment to lifelong learning
· to respect and appreciate both diversity and bonds of connection within the social group
· to be guided by system of values and ethical standards
· to welcome challenges and to transcend and effect change
· to understand distinctive characteristics of the three primary domains of knowledge the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences/mathematics.

Course Description Students will begin to apply their CADD knowledge to detailing and construction drawings. There will be typical elements of historic interiors and adoption of decorative exterior vocabulary for interior applications. Students should try to develop details for a concurrent studio project while using the computer as the design tool.

Course Objectives To acquire the knowledge of detail drawing necessary to custom-design and be able to produce organized shop drawings with the proper terminology and specifications. Understanding methods of installation, principles of joining, bonding, quality construction, selection of hardware, fittings, clips and finishes, mounting, wall systems and becoming responsible to code requirements will be required.

Student Learning Outcomes · Using the computer as a design and technical tool
· Functional Details
· Analysis
· Problem Solving skills
· Methodology
· Spatial composition
· Spatial hierarchy
· Basic building codes
· To be introduced to various presentation methods and gaining skill in putting together a graphic presentation of a design solution

Instructional Methods The course will be a collaboration of various sketch problems that allow the student to develop the appropriate skills and a strong foundation that is essential to being a designer.

COURSE POLICIES

Attendance Gaining the skills to become a competent professional Interior Designer is greatly enhanced by group critique and seeing other people's work, therefore it is very important that you are presentation and PREPARED * for every class so that you can take advantage of the studio setting. Any student absent for more than 2 classes will not only miss out on learning but will fail as a result. In event that an absence is unavoidable, it is up to the student to make arrangements to make up the missed work.
* Being PREPARED for class involves the following:
Bringing course notebook, and all tools and materials to class in order to be able to work during class time. Also bringing the current design project with all the work done so far on that assignment.
* NOTE Any student present in class but NOT prepared to work and/or present their work will be counted as absent.

Lateness Some times it is out of our control! BUT Class starts and finishes nothing will be repeated. It is your responsibility to gather the information that you have missed. If you are late for more than 4 classes it will count as an absence.

Participation
Students should complete readings distributed throughout the term , and are encouraged to participate in class discussions. The course should function as a studio, with informal talks, class discussions, desk crits and group crits.
A reading assignment will be assigned at the end of each week the following class a one page typed summery or a quiz will be issued. You will be informed when the assignment is reviewed.
