This course exposes the basic elements used in designs. Students are trans disciplinary guided to come up with spatial designs based on design elements learned from exercising projects either individual or in groups.

RDS 102 course focuses on the small-scale design of building interior that links human activities, requirements and site contexts. It emphasises the interrelationships of design elements and principles, conceptualisation, spatial organisation and sequence, human anthropometrics and problem-solving based on both 2D and 3D spatial understanding. This course entails sequential series of design projects where students are required to apply their skills and knowledge as well as demonstrate their understanding of the design process.

This course stresses on the proper planning of interior space from various space categories such as commercial, institutional, hospitality, residential facilities. The training to manage projects is introduced to the students to strengthen the students’ knowledge in preparation for the practical training at the end of the semester. The exposure is undertaken to fulfil the working market requirements. At the end of the course students will be able to:
(i) Identify the hiearchy of space and the interior design elements
(ii) Apply the understanding of design skills and team work.
(iii) Differentiate the level of solving problems in accordance to the types of projects, starting from concept, space planning until presentation.

This course stresses on the proper planning of interior space from various space categories such as commercial, institutional, hospitality, residential facilities. The training to manage projects is introduced to the students to strengthen the students’ knowledge in preparation for the practical training at the end of the semester. The exposure is undertaken to fulfil the working market requirements. At the end of the course students will be able to:

(i) Link human factor, physical factor and emotional factor in interior design.
(ii) Give respond to space and human senses.
(iii) React with design environment more effectively

The human factors of man, physical and emotional. Examination of how human senses are affected by space, form, colour, light, sound and motion. Study of the ecology of man and how tools, products and systems affects his behaviour and environment.

This course expands by visual awareness, developing visual techniques and tools for research and designing in black and white. Practical training and assignments include design and execution of a n appropriate communication covering formal, functional and technical solutions to design problems. The emphasis is on presentation, materials, methods, form and design development. The course comprises of techniques and process of design in 2-D presentations.

The course covers the development of interior design from an early date to the present. The course aims to introduce and explore different theoretical perspectives on contemporary society and culture to examine historical issues relevant to the production of Interior Design and related fields. It also aims to develop the student's intellectual and critical awareness to enable students to become familiar with information sources, and develop their research and design ability.

This course exposes the students to coloured presentation techniques that are available and applicable in market. It stresses on various media that are applied by interior designers as tools for presentation. The media applied are coloured pencil, watercolour, marker, gouache, air brush, computer enhanced and computer generated presentation, in producing final presentations. These skills enhance the creative thinking in designing. The course objectives are as follows: (i). To enhance the interior design studio presentation in colour. (ii). To understand colours, tones, hues, shades and shadows. (iii). To expose the students to interior design presentation. (iv). To know how to communicate graphically through means of colour rendering, sketching and drawing. (v). To understand rendering and exploiting it through the creation and the setting of mood, environment, ambience and identity of a space in colour focusing on texture, materials and finishes. (vi). To understand materials through colour rendering. (vii). To be able to communicate verbally in enhancing the graphic communication ability

The emphasis of this course is on the understanding of materials and technology, their uses and sources, and their relation to interior architecture. It stresses the responsibility of the designer to adapt to evolving technologies to his needs from the early process of designing until the product/design is marketed.

RDG 336 course introduces the important aspects relating to the profession in the field of professional interior design. The legal and ethical aspects, management, relationship with relevant parties as well as the business and entrepreneurship aspects are emphasized in this subject.

Interior Architecture Topical studies writing is a starting point for interior design students to get involved in specific research areas. The research conducted is a test to evaluate students' understanding of the courses or subjects that have been followed in the interior design program throughout the academic year, as well as to train the students to master the right techniques of writing a report and the process of conducting a research based on the writing system that is required by the university and the interior design professional bodies. As we all know the research conducted in this topical study is a continuation of the design studio, where all the data and information collected and discussed in this topical study can help the students in the design process and thus can support the design report writing on the whole. Moreover, it is also a turning point for the students to get familiar with the writing skill, which is very important in their career life after graduation. Thus the process of research and writing will help students to gather information for any matters relating to writings.
