Interior Architecture
The Interior Architecture Bachelor of Fine Arts
(BFA) degree program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design. The program prepares students to assume leadership positions in many
careers.
The Interior Architecture Program is based upon dual
strategies: conceptual development and technical proficiency.
Creative thinking in Interior Design has a close relationship to all
forms of artistic activity. Good designers use an understanding of society
and culture to form critical judgments about people's lives.
Conceptually, our Interior Architecture program
is based upon the principles of Interior Architecture as defined by
John Kurtich and Garret Eakin in their book Interior Architecture.
These include an emphasis upon the enclosing structure, both as a reference,
and as a guide for the selection of furnishings, the importance of both
three and four dimensional design thinking, the importance of light,
and the use of color and materials to impart a human character.
University of Louisville studio and seminar settings
are used to integrate these and other diverse liberal arts ideas with
the practical and technical requirements of Interior Architecture
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree is primarily
intended for professionally oriented students. Admission is highly selective
and enrollments are limited. Presently accepted majors for the BA in
studio art who have completed the Foundations Program (ART 105, 106,
115, and 116), plus completed or are currently enrolled in ART 361 Drafting
for Designers, have a combined GPA in art and art history classes above
a 3.01, and a minimum overall GPA of 2.25 are eligible to apply for
the BFA program by completing a BFA Application in the Department of
Fine Arts. BFA Applications for Interior Architecture are reviewed once
yearly in November.
Students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.25 or above to remain eligible
for the BFA program.
