Although your work as an interior designer is concerned with interior spaces, you will benefit from an understanding of the way buildings are constructed. Why they stand up or fall down, and how different building techniques affect the shaping and utilization of interior space, should be areas of interest to you.
In this course we will cover three major areas: Basic Structural Principles and Elements, Structural Forms, and Horizontal Structures and Vertical Movement. We cover everything from superstructure and foundation to windows and walls to horizontal and vertical conveyance.
