IAR 530 Color & Textiles (3)
The first part of this course examines theories of color in relation to light and space. In the second part, key topics include the selection, specification, and application of textiles based on their properties and performance criteria, sustainability, installation methods, maintenance requirements, and regulations and standards.
IAR 620 Interior Architecture III (6)
This advanced studio addresses concept development, design development, and detailing of medium and large-scale projects. Emphasis is placed on program analysis, user needs, space planning, three dimensional spatial development, design language and composition, materials and assemblies, color, lighting, acoustics, environmental systems, and building codes and life safety. Prerequisites: IAR 515, IAR 525.
IAR 625 Interior Architecture IV (6)
This advanced studio addresses concept development, design development, and detailing of medium and large-scale projects. Emphasis is placed on program analysis, user needs, space planning, three dimensional spatial development, design language and composition, materials and assemblies, color, lighting, acoustics, environmental systems, and building codes and life safety. Prerequisites: IAR 610, IAR 620.
IAR 655 Graduate Research Methods (3)
This graduate seminar is a review and analysis of published research in the disciplines of interior design and architecture. It introduces students to various methods for gathering information and conducting research related to the reciprocal interaction between humans and the environment. Emphasis is placed on the selection and utilization of data collection strategies and tools and the development of a research proposal.
IAR 660 Statistics for Environment & Behavior (3)
In this course, students are introduced to statistical analysis in relation to environmental design and human behavior. Emphasis is placed on descriptive statistics, significance tests, two-sample comparisons, regression, and correlation. Students use a computer-based statistical package for data analysis.
IAR 665 Special Topics in Interior Architecture (3)
Theory, research, and application are stressed in relation to interior architecture through various course topics. Special topics may include design and culture, design for special populations, design for specific building types, programming, post occupancy evaluation, and historic preservation.
IAR 670 Supervised Teaching (3)
Students have the opportunity to assist with a class in interior architecture under the supervision of a faculty member.
IAR 675 Independent Study (3)
In-depth investigation conducted independently by the student under the supervision of an instructor. This course may be taken to satisfy an elective requirement.
IAR 680 Thesis (3) and IAR 681 Thesis (3)
The thesis is independently taken by a student under the guidance of an instructor. The final product is a written thesis with original research or a creative design project that is supported by in-depth information gathering and written material.
