In the School of Interiors, we fundamentally demonstrate design as a human-centered practice and challenge long-established ideas that a designer only treats the surface of the interior. Instead, we advocate for the study of interiors as a multi-layered, sensory-laden, connective way ofexperiencing the world. As a place of education, we stimulate exemplary design practice and inspire young design talent. Through real-world examples, we show that design can and does make a difference. An education grounded in research, the Interiors program at UK helps students gain the ability to distill and visualize data, and turn ideas into actionable solutions.
