The Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, OH, US, Bachelors, Interior Architecture
This field specializes majorly in commercial & retail based designs & concepts, with skills in communication, creativity, & branding. I worked on interior & exterior views & developed environmental-friendly places. Cleveland Institute of Art Interior Architecture program states, "Interior Architecture program emphasizes commercial retail, architectural, functional, and spatial design. As a student, [they] will study design processes, sensitivity and knowledge of material specification, and ethical problem solving. [They] also will learn several presentation methods, including drawing, rendering, computer-aided design (CAD), and 3D modeling" (http://www.cia.edu/academics/interior-architecture). Mike Gollini (Chair professor for Interior Architecture) speaks stating IA students are "problem solving designers working in a commercial-based field, from restaurants, retail spaces, trade shows, museum pieces, even some building design. Skill-sets in drafting, line weight, floor plan, elevations, perspective drawings. Using a Wacom Cintiq, students will literally draw on the computer screen, working on a multitude of projects, with faculty and professionals, where the professionals host projects, sit in on critiques and give real feedback." I call us, strategic environmental designers.
