Field trips
The
Interior Architecture program offers many off-campus study opportunities
to students, including off-campus design activities, involvement in
community-based projects from conceptual design through to the
fabrication and installation of small to medium scale projects, a range
of workshop programmes including the design and fabrication of furniture
items, interdisciplinary collaboration and participation in national and
international student design award competitions. Students have the
chance to participate in annual national field trips and regular
international study tours. Recent field trips include the 2002 Spanish
summer field trip to Madrid, Bilbao and Barcelona, and the 2003 study
tour to Germany including stops in Frankfurt, Hannover, Berlin, Dresden
and Frankfurt.
Field trips are offered as a means for students to gain invaluable
exposure to international design events, organisations and attractions.
Students are encouraged to take the opportunity to experience the wealth
of design expertise and varying approaches taken by our international
counterparts, by such means as site visits to internationally recognised
companies, manufacturers, museums, public works, conferences and design
centres.
