Architecture/Landscape /Interiors at OTIS College of Art and Design seeks to contribute to the emergence of imaginative, contemporary practices through a synthetic curriculum of the spatial design fields: architecture (buildings), landscape (spaces between building) and interiors (spaces within buildings).

Students study all three fields within a single, sequential curriculum, focused on design empowered by technologies and theory. At the core of the curriculum are six comprehensive studio courses that combine or alternate between the related disciplines. Technologies + Ecologies courses focus on the materials and methods of building, landscape, and interior construction. Digital Media courses address digital communication skills (drafting, modeling, rendering, and fabrication). History + Theory courses provide the cultural and intellectual framework necessary for informed and articulate design proposals.
