Developing a strong library of important interior designers throughout history. Hosting visiting interior designers to discuss what time most influences their work. C. Course Description (Note: General description in the form to be used for the Bulletin or Handbook should be attached) Survey of international interior design history from a cultural, socioeconomic, and architectural perspective including Islamic architecture and interior environments. Offers a study of interior furnishings from the medieval period to the Revival styles of the mid-eighteenth century to the contemporary classics used in modern interiors today. The characteristics of historical interiors, ornamental design, use of color, and architecture will be the primary emphases. Much like a history of art course, the history of interior design encompasses numerous styles, movements and the international political and social developments that have informed or challenged its evolution. The teacher should focus not only on interior design, but also antiques, furniture design, textiles, decorative objects and the general evolution of the space where we work and live. 1 Topics to be covered

COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING Paper assignment at the end of the semester requires students to examine Interior design and architecture as primary sources of information. Students are expected to attend class on time and to be prepared to participate and learn. Please respect others, do not disrupt the class with late arrivals, early departures or cell phones.
Class preparation requires reading the assigned chapters in the textbook History of Interior Design by: John Pile. 3rd. Ed.

Students are expected to learn specific information from lectures and reading assignments including: definitions, dates, names, places, and works of art. There will be the usual tests, reading assignments, and project assignments are required. Attendance is critical in order to keep up with the class material. You must provide a written excuse to make up tests or other assignments. College level writing is required for this course. Students Assessment: A clear rationale and policy on grading Methods of Assessment/Evaluation may include: Tests and quizzes which may include: definitions, multiple choice, short answer, brief essay, lists; writing assignments, inclass discussions and/or critiques; written papers including critiques, essays, analyses, reviews, research, presentations. Expectations from students: Attitudes, involvement, behaviors, skills, and ethics ATTENDANCE & REQUIREMENTS Attendance is mandatory. The class meets once a week for tow hour sessions. I expect you to be present and arrive on time for every class. I will accept up to three absences without an excuse, however; after that you need to communicate with me if there is a problem. Four absences without an excuse may result in a lower letter grade. Our creative projects will be given on a daily, weekly or biweekly basis depending on their complexity and the amount of time needed for their completion. Their due dates will be

announced at the time of their assignment and you are expected to complete them by the dates they are due at which time they will be graded. I will be able to answer your questions for both at mid-term to evaluate your work and at the end of the semester. Final papers are due two weeks before the Final Exam for grading.
