Completing your first year studying interior architecture & design

As you are working towards completing your first year in the program, you will decide on which minor or an area of focus you will pursue to meet the requirement for the GEF 8.

You will have items to begin planning your portfolio of work. From the fall courses, you have an abstract built model, Case studies on topics covering Architectural Theories to Universal Principles. Wrapping up the year you will have your first interior design project.

Now is the time to establish a system to manage your completed work. For the technology, you will want your personal drives.
