Interior Architecture Studio Spring Spring

DIS Architecture and Design Program
Spring 2011
Interior Architecture Studio
6 Credits
Instructor: Johan Carlson (JC) Birgitte Borup (BB)

Course Assistant: Emma Sullivan (ESU)
The Interior Architecture Studio is the core course of the semester,
and required for all Interior Architecture students. Typically, studios
meet on Tuesday and Friday afternoons. The instructors are present
during these times and student attendance is mandatory. Outside of
the scheduled times, students are expected to work in studio when
not attending lectures and field studies. Students are asked to carry
out assignments individually as well as in groups. The studio is
taught as a vertical studio: students of different levels are in the same
studios. Expectations relate to the level of the individual student.
Objectives
At the end of the course students will be able to:
Approach a design problem from a contextual point-of-view.
Integrate contemporary design into existing buildings.
Produce projects for the Danish historic, social and legal

contexts.
Students will also have enhanced their design methods and abilities.
Portfolio
Students should bring examples of their work in a portfolio to be
shared with their studio instructors at the beginning of Assignment 2.
This will allow the professors to become acquainted with the design
skills of each student.
The portfolio should contain:
A one-page resume (short and precise) listing all studios,

courses, assignments and other relevant material, beginning with
the most recent information. Clearly state current year/position in
school. Briefly state expectations of study at DIS.
Approximately 3 pages of project illustrations from one or

several projects done in studio (or independently if relevant),
accompanied by a short description.
The portfolio must be submitted as a digital PDF or hard copy.

The pages should be formatted to A4 size (210mm x 297mm) or
US-Letter size (8.5 x 11).

goals for the semester will form
building or site on the study tour and present it to the other students;
the basis of a one-on-one talk

A survey of the study models and representation of models in archi

tool to this very day, in an age otherwise seemingly dominated by
computer aided design.

Program Study Tours: Wester Denmark

Study tours play an integral part of the Architecture and Design
Program, providing students the opportunity to develop their critical
observation skills and diagrammatic and representational proficiency.
Simultaneously, the students are equipped with a vocabulary of
design concepts, strategies, and materials, which can then be applied
in their own creative work in studio and beyond.
Tour A (Aalborg/Holstebro)
Leaders: Dustin Brugmann (DB) + Lisbeth Lorentzen (LL) + Alison
Snyder (ABS)
Tour B (Kolding/Ebeltoft)

Description
The Western Denmark tour forms an integral part of the studio
curriculum by exposing students to high-quality historic and modern
architecture and urbanism as well as providing them insight into the
qualities that make a building or site quintessentially Danish. Studies
are made of significant religious architecture, housing prototypes,
innovative museum designs, and the integration of buildings into
landscapes or urban fabrics.
