At LASALLE, we define Interior Design as the act of creating engaging environments within and around existing spaces and structures. This entails the design and planning of a diverse array of spaces that span residential, leisure, retail, F&B, office, healthcare, hospitality and institutional spaces.
The programme exists as an independent setting for learning, teaching and extending contemporary spatial design methods. It aims to be at the forefront of interior design education and practice regionally and internationally.
The curriculum is based on a number of key design principles. Fundamental technical skills and vocational knowledge remain the focus and are supported through design investigations, explorations, experimentations and conceptual thinking methods. These are explored in a practice-based studio environment where traditional drafting and modelling techniques, as well as the latest in computer-aided drawing and visualisation are honed.
Knowledge of historical and contemporary design further develops your understanding of design in the built environment. The programme remains sensitive and relevant to the industry’s developments and demands through continuous links with industry partners.
The programme is unique, as it seeks not only to develop your technical skills, but also to supplement your professional skill with a wider knowledge and understanding of the built environment that is inextricably linked to the fields of industrial design and architecture. It prides itself on its practical yet unconventional approach to interior design within the Asian context, while being regionally and internationally relevant to what’s current in the design industry.
The studio-based environment mimics ‘design ateliers’, promoting the vibrant exchange of communication, information and ideas. These ateliers are facilitated by experienced staff, who boast a wealth of reputed local and international experiences and knowledge.
Personal professional development is embedded in the studio through the course of study, where you are exposed to the demands of the industry with continual engagement in local and international design competitions, live projects and exhibitions.
With its diverse market sectors and niches, employment is abundant, ranging from large architectural practices to smaller boutique consultancy firms. The education you receive at LASALLE competitively positions you in an advantageous light. Our graduates have found placements in award-winning local and international practices.
