    Lessons on transforming an old space

    11/28/2018

     
    Lots of hard work, some outdoors at the height of a hot Alabama summer, went into a design project for seniors taking CTD 425 Advanced Residential Design. As part of a semester-long project, instructors had interior design students measure Tuscaloosa’s historic Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion from top to bottom and inside and out. Once done with that, they were tasked with creating a concept for the house, uses for each space and detailed designs for several rooms.

    From music schools to private residences, each design was unique and expressed the creativity of the individual student.

    The class culminates with Critique Week when students make mock client presentations in front of a panel of experts. The project represents a large part of their grade for CTD 425.  More importantly, each student receives thoughtful suggestions from experienced professionals that will help them to perfect designs for their portfolios. 
    ​
    Another example of experiential learning that prepares HES students for success after graduation.
