Rebecca Trenorden - Interior Architecture studentBachelor of Interior Architecture (DBIR) - Louis Laybourne Smith School of Architecture & Design

The Bachelor of Interior Architecture program at the Louis Laybourne Smith School provides students with a professionally relevant course on an inner city campus. It focuses on the integration of design theory and practice and is distinguished by two minor streams of study in furniture design and exhibition design.

The Interior Architecture program enables students to develop the ability to approach a variety of design problems with creativity, a high level of competence, sensitivity and professional relevance. The first year of the program introduces students to basic design skills and concepts. The second and third years enable students to develop and apply their skills to the conception, synthesis and resolution of increasingly complex interior architecture projects. In the final year, it is expected that students will develop a level of mastery in the application of the knowledge and skills through the program.

The internationally recognised and enthusiastic teaching team all have practice backgrounds and offer many opportunities to students; including off-campus design activities, involvement in community-based projects, a range of workshop programs including the design and fabrication of furniture items, interdisciplinary collaboration and a professional work-placement and mentor program. Students have the chance to participate in annual national field trips and regular international cross-disciplinary study tours.
