The Royal Academy of Art The Hague is now inviting applications for its Master Interior Architecture.
INSIDE is a two-year, English-taught Master Interior Architecture program which targets the real world. A world that is changing: large-scale interiors, a changing relation between private and public space, sustainability and a greater demand for social cohesion are themes that call for a new perspective on interior architecture.
Social and Cultural Challenges in Interior Architecture
INSIDE is a master’s course for interior architects who start every assignment by conducting a wide-ranging exploration of a spatial context undergoing change. Wide-ranging here means that through observation, research and theoretical study, students chart and analyse a whole array of issues that are relevant to the spatial change that the context is undergoing. That wide range consists not only of spatial aspects but also of social, historical and ecological issues at play in the wider surroundings. The situation of spatial change that is the subject of research can be defined by a client from his reality or be initiated by the designer himself on the basis of a culturally urgent issue. After setting up and carrying out their investigation, the INSIDE students hone their skills in using the acquired knowledge to determine essential qualities that are of decisive importance for the spatial changes taking place. They then learn to incorporate those qualities in a spatial proposal grounded in a realistic perspective and in their social implications. After a first year filled with encounters, assignments and confrontations, the students return to their native countries where they define an assignment with which they complete their course at INSIDE by the end of the second year.
The course is taught by architects, designers and theoreticians, and welcomes applicants looking for an intensive, full time commitment, and who can show a demonstrable affinity for the social and cultural challenges in interior architecture.
The working language of the programme is English, and proficiency in both speaking and writing is required.
