Promotion: the Barcelona School of Arts & Design has launched a 12-month master programme that will teach students how to design contemporary interiors and give them an “overview of every facet of the craft”.
As a design institute, The Barcelona School of Arts & Design (LABASAD) prides itself on having the experience and resources to teach everything in design. Its classes are limited to 25 students and taught in English by industry professionals.
For the online master in interior design and hospitality, students will be taught by professionals currently working in the field, led by Italian architect, stylist and art director Chiara Luzzatto.
Luzzatto is described as a professional who “loves conceptualising and constructing modern spaces and environments”. She has an extensive background in academia studying architecture in Rome and as a master in interior design in Venice. Subsequently she worked in Milan at the Elisa Ossino Studio and later in Modena to as an art director at an interior and photography company.
She is now co-founder and art director at Notoo Studio, creating interior images for international furniture brands.
A roster of artists, architects, photographers and other specialists also teach students as part of the programme.
The 12-month master, taught in English, will comprise 13 courses, grouped into five modules, and integrate project-based knowledge in the set-up and furniture sectors, as well as retail.
The programme will explore the cultural and technical aspects of design and will look at styling, design and photography, and students will also learn about 3D practices.
“By the end of the programme, students will be able to create compelling digital images for catalogues, magazines, window displays, commercial spaces, and interiors, which speaks volumes about their new skills,” LABASAD said.
One of the four objectives of the programme is to reach a deeper understanding of visual composition to create “futuristic design systems”. The course also sets out to balance “aesthetic and performance” in interior design”. Thirdly, students will “master interior industry techniques and design thinking to grasp different contexts, user needs, and business challenges”. Finally, students are expected to gain practical experience with an array of stakeholders in a project.
“Besides practical aspects of interior design, the program will emphasize the importance of comfort-seeking, individual expression, social cohesion, identity creation, and modern communication,” LABASAD said.
“As an online programme, it offers students the flexibility to study anywhere,” LABASAD said. “We have students from all over the world from Spain to the UK, Germany, Mexico, Belgium, among others.”
Classes are regularly scheduled and take place every week. They can also be recorded so that if there is a day when a student is unable to attend, they can watch the class that they missed.
The programme targets students or workers who are passionate about interior design and want to delve deeper into the subject, as well as industry professionals who want to specialise in hospitality and interior design.
It is also suitable for people who work in agencies and design students and want to specialize in 3D modelling or styling, and for interior styling enthusiasts who want to start a career in the field.
LABASAD’s online master in interior design and hospitality was designed to give its students a road map and “overview of every facet of the craft”, preparing them for the professional world, the design institute said.
