Interior Design - Level 2 - Evenings
Ugo Passin
This second stage course will be for those who are attending or who have already completed an introductory level course in interior design and wish to improve their skills in space planning. It is an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in design and committed to demanding study. The aim of the course will be to create a foundation in design and technical drawing skills (plan, section, elevation, axonometric), three dimensional thinking and space analysis. Through a practical project students will improve basic drawing and presentation techniques that will enable them to confront any simple design issue.
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.

- Start collecting interiors and other magazines containing good pictures from interiors to fashion to nature etc.
- From your local painting and decorating shop collect a comfortable number of colour palettes (eg: Dulux, Crown, Sunderson etc.)
