ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
The Environmental Design program focuses on the design of expressive and humane interior and architectural space. Projects are developed in an interior architectural, environmental and societal context.
Core design studios develop a design methodology of research, analysis, design and presentation, emphasizing conceptual development. You learn to transform conceptual ideas into spatial realities. Advanced studio projects include commercial, residential, retail, hospitality and institutional design, with a variety of interdisciplinary options. The fourth-year thesis studio focuses on a more complex project corresponding to your particular values and interests. This core curriculum is supported by a broad base of design theory, material and technology, drawing, computer and graphic presentation, and professional practice course material.
Graduates of the Environmental Design program are recognized by the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario and often find career placement in interior design studios, environmental, architecture or landscape firms and product-design companies. Many continue on to graduate studies in architecture, environmental sciences and sustainability programs or utilize their design education to create new opportunities in varied and unique situations.
