Course detail
Current Trends in Designing Inner Space
FA-AAP-KAcad. year: 2025/2026
The course introduces current approaches in the design of inner space on particular architectural projects. Students will apply the theoretical knowledge from their previous studies and use their studio designs, and also strengthen their abilities to create independent and current architectural expression. Final realization of spatial fragments based on the theoretical conclusions will provide an immediate possibility of self-reflection and thus creates a necessary precondition for independent architectural practice.
In the study programme “Architecture and Urban Design” the course is part of the technical courses.
