Gerrit Rietveld Academie starts new Master’s programme in Interior Architecture

-

Starting in the academic year 2010-2011, Amsterdam’s Gerrit Rietveld Academie is introducing the Master’s programme Interior Architecture. This Master’s programme will be given at the Sandberg Institute which already offers three Master’s programmes: in Fine arts, Applied arts and Design. The Gerrit Rietveld Academie already has a Bachelor’s degree programme in Architectural Design. The Master’s degree programme Interior Architecture will be added to this at the start of the next academic year.

-

The Gerrit Rietveld Academie takes a broad view of the discipline of interior architecture. The programme includes design of the direct immediate living space, as well as the development of design processes and practices from a position of strong social engagement combined with an autonomous approach to the discipline which is being taught. In line with the educational vision of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, this Master’s programme trains interior architects who are capable of creating innovative and unorthodox designs through autonomous research and experimentation. They are able to generate future-proof solutions for the complex spatial design tasks of today and can create spaces with autonomous qualities.

Study programme

The study programme comprises three sections: the Laboratory; where the focus is on design research in relation to conceptualisation; the Studio; where the focus is on design research in relation to construction, practice and entrepreneurship; and the Platform, where the focus is on presentation, confrontation, discussion with and reflection on the discipline. During each semester two design tasks are given, in the sectors housing, social and recreation.

-

Head of the new Master’s programme Henri Snel (M Arch): “This two-year Master’s programme is a deepening of the existing national Bachelor’s programme and the Sandberg Institute gives it a strong social function. The programme aims to stimulate a nationwide discussion of the discipline; what is interior architecture, and what value can it have for the future? During these times of economic instability there is not much construction taking place, so it is particularly important that we consider the redevelopment, reformulation and re-use of existing architecture. This Master’s programme is perfectly in line with these national and international developments.”
