Interior Design - Level 1 (Thursdays)
Ugo Passin
This course aims for an understanding of the components involved in the design of interiors, catering for both individuals who may be considering further study and those with a serious interest in the subject. Through practical projects, students will develop an understanding of the design process and the importance of an ideas-based approach. This is not an interior styling course, and therefore is not focusing on current trends or fashions, but seeks to introduce students to a more comprehensive view of interior design. Students may take Interior Design parts 1 and 2 separately or at the same time.
Ugo Passin is a practising interior designer currently researching the relationship between colour and space. He is a tutor at Chelsea College of Art and Design and other London colleges.
