DSGN08105 2023 Interior Architecture Studio Office 2: Entrepreneurship

In this module, students engage as practitioners in a simulated Interior Architecture Office with focus on sustainable practices in making an interior architectural product. Students engage in a small to medium scaled design and research project, to propose a potential solution to a market problem, bringing it from initial stages, specification, costing through to production drawings, with focus on craft and making skills. This module affords students who have not secured a work placement an opportunity to address equivalent discipline specific learning outcomes. The student engaging in this module will also complete a selection of elective modules from across the Yeats Academy of Arts, Design and Architecture.

Interior Architecture and Design Studio Office 2: Entrepreneurship aims to offer the student the following opportunities:

• To engage in Interior Architectural or Interior Design projects within a design practice modelled setting, participating in work practices, procedures and organisational structures that might typically be encountered during an Interior Architectural work placement.
• To explore, learn and apply entrepreneurial skills, crafting skills and focus on the role of materials in design of small to medium-sized projects.
• To apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout the course in a relevant workplace modelled setting (including design, representational, procedural, technical, budgetary and legislative knowledge and skills);
• To develop their organisational, collaborative and design skills necessary to function as an effective team member in an Interior Architectural design office setting
• To foster their interpersonal skills, problem-solving skills, teamwork, practical skills, self-reliance, commercial and economic awareness, and maturity.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh's finest work dates from about a dozen intensely creative years around 1900. His buildings in Glasgow, and especially his craggy masterpiece the Glasgow School of Art, are more complex and playful than any other work in Britain at that time. His interiors, many of them designed in collaboration with his wife, Margaret Macdonald, are both spare and sensuous; a world of heightened aesthetic sensibility inside the Willow Tea Rooms or The Hill House. And his inventive imagination, which played constantly with the shape of curves and squares, produced designs for furniture which transformed ordinary chairs into pieces of abstract sculpture. Finally, in the 1920s he painted a series of watercolours which are as original as anything he had done before.

A testament to the craft traditions of Ireland covering over 40 crafts, from woodcarvers, thatchers, goldsmiths and potters to glassblowers of the famous Waterford crystal, 'crios' weavers from the Aran Islands, and the makers of harps, quilts, baskets and curraghs, drystone walls and Irish lace.

Who defines the landscapes around us? What practices are employed as contemporary landscapes are produced? This issue argues that landscapes are made and remade through interrelations between people and the worlds around them from geographers investigating the lives of urban wastelands to landscape architects projecting future cities, and from migrants navigating border systems to artists working with local residents. In contrast to tendencies to emphasise the physical forms of landscapes, with their potential to be redesigned and represented in drawings, this issue brings to the forefront the social constructedness of landscapes by focusing on a range of critical practices and daily actions. As conventional frames of landscape are challenged, other ways of measuring, mapping, imagining, designing, building and occupying them are revealed. For centuries, artists and designers have represented landscapes of power in paintings and have transformed them through their design proposals. But in recent years a number of researchers, designers, artists and activists have explored an expanded field of landscape, investigating populations fleeing conflict zones, reimagining cities facing ecological challenges, questioning territorial claims, and critiquing processes of urbanisation. This issue focuses on some of these individuals whose work and lives encompass a diverse range of practices, brought together through their critical redefinition of landscape relations.

This carefully curated catalog celebrates the rich detail in the work of Aino, Elissa, and Alvar Aalto. Every support, railing, and handle is the result of intensive formal and functional research. The authors document 50 Aalto buildings - some well-known and others less so - and arrange their photographs by component into 20 chapters. The result is a rich photographic record that will serve as a source of inspiration for every architect.

Step inside Norm Architects' world of 'Soft Minimalism', a design philosophy that is inspired by a love of minimalism and which moves away from the cold sterility it is often associated with.

This book will provide inspiration and insight into the unique design language and philosophy of Norm Architects, who believe that architects are responsible for creating the settings and designing the frameworks that allow people to live good lives.

The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new offerings and capabilities. This book introduces the idea of design thinking the collaborative process by which the designers sensibilities and methods are employed to match peoples needs not only with what is technically feasible and a viable business strategy. In short design thinking converts need into demand. Its a humancentered approach to problem solving that helps people and organizations become more innovative and more creative. Design thinking is not just applicable to socalled creative industries or people who work in the design field. Its a methodology that has been used by organizations such as Kaiser Permanente to icnrease the quality of patient care by reexamining the ways that their nurses manage shift change or Kraft to rethink supply chain management. This is not a book by designers for designers; this is a book for creative leaders seeking to infuse design thinking into every level of an organization product or service to drive new alternatives for business and society.
