Programme Overview
Interior Design at The Glasgow School of Art is a vibrant Studio Community. A place where creative imaginations promote a deeper understanding of the potential and actual value of the spaces we inhabit. It makes use of its location – a specialist Studio within a specialist Art School – to focus on how the nature, quality and potential of the interior can be developed. The Studio is central to such considerations. It is a place where we talk, make, draw, and innovate. It is a place where we deliberate how the world we hope to inhabit might appear, how it might feel and how it might be. Our focus is on building an environment where the many ways of creating and defining interiors are explored through analogue, digital and virtual learning tools. This fosters a creative, imaginative, and critical space for students and staff to focus on and navigate through the discipline, as well as a deep understanding of the crafting of interiors and the craft of learning. The programme has 35- 40 students in each year. This facilitates a particular creative cohesion and allows staff to support individual abilities and aspirations. All full and part-time staff combine, to varying degrees, practice, research and teaching, offering a complimentary range of specialist experience. Visiting tutors bring additional voices to the studio. The work of staff members is regularly published, exhibited and built in the UK and elsewhere. All GSA degree programmes are validated by the University of Glasgow.
