While a building’s exterior provides that all-important first impression, it is really the interior at the heart of the human experience—the space where people live, work, play, relax, learn, and heal. Which products provide variety in colors and textures? How can we balance structural integrity with a desired aesthetic and occupant well-being? What role does nature have in current interior design decisions? This course will answer these questions and more as it delves into the world of interior design to help architects and designers keep up with what’s next on the interior horizon—from biophilic design strategies and updated interior wall systems to metal trim and innovative glass.
