The bachelor studios

This third studio in year two continues the study towards contemporary modes of ‘being at home’ [OPO36]. With this studio we further develop the notion of trans-locating previously domestic events to the public sphere of the city. As such we design dynamic living environments with a great focus on the interaction between public and private […]

The final studio in year three introduces a synergy between practice and research. As a conduit into modes of research critical attitudes towards the representational tools by which we describe interior space are nurtured. High resolution design presentations are produced to exemplify how individual work has been influenced by knowledge gained through topical research.

This is the first studio of year three. Each year we work on a number of life project to allow students to interact with real building sites and actual stakeholders and/or clients. This project allows students to explore the disciplinary boundaries of Interior Architecture and position themselves in terms of personal interest.

This second studio studio in our year two is an exercise on one of the most important qualities an Interior Architect should have; to study, register and learn from existing building environments. As Interior Architects we are ‘master observers’ capable of distilling potential spatial qualities of existing structures. With this studio we travel abroad to […]

With our first studio in year two we look at contemporary modes of ‘being at home’ to critique and design ‘new’ living models. The domestic program is one we all have most experience with. This studio guides students to re-invent this familiar program. As urban dwellers we trans-located previously domestic events to the public sphere […]

This is the final studio of year one. Here we take the opportunity to look back on all we have learned to design a student led exhibition. Introduced by OPO 24, students form curatorial teams through which they not only design and built spatial objects/installations as part of a public exhibition, they also learn how […]

This third studio in year one looks at the interior as a crossing of social situations. As such we define the interior as a social (interactive) space. The presence of such a space could be inside a small house, a large gallery space or a city square in the south of Italy. The interior as […]

With this second studio in year one we focus on the interior as something we can measure and draw yet still to generate specific interior experiences. Here we study ‘the nature of space’ which means looking at the actual physical space and the atmospheric qualities embedded within such a space. As Interior Architects we orchestrate […]

With our first studio in year one we focus on the definition of the interior as an experienced space. As such, we introduce a duality between the idea of an interior as something we can measure and draw and something we ought to experience through time. Both are equally important and are also explored in […]
