about: This pre-intermediate course is particularly aimed at students who have completed

selection. Through the sessions, the students will further develop their skills, enthusiasm
and flair for Interior Design by producing more detailed drawings and presentations.
Furthermore, they will be introduced to design genres/history such as Art Nouveau, Art
Deco, the Modernists and Contemporary designers. The lessons will be fun, practical and
very hands-on with lots of exposure to samples materials. The main aim of the course is
