Advice If you include Master's Thesis in your study programme, we strongly recommend you to take this course together with 3614 Master's Project (together = in your study programme of the same academic year)

Content

The student proposes a research question for the master's thesis within the domain of adaptive reuse. The promotor supervises the student during the research- and writing process. This results in a thesis based on a methodology akin to the specific requirements of the research in question. There should also be a relationship with the Master's project.

Learning outcomes
Master of Interior Architecture (English)
  •  EC 
  • Can communicate a design(process) convincingly to novices and specialists in images, written and spoken word, using the appropriate visualization techniques, both digital and manual, in a balanced, targeted, and deliberate way.

  •  EC 
  • Can independently apply and come up with research- and design strategies within a societal, historically defined and international context, and in function of a future oriented vision on the design of an interior space.

  •  EC 
  • Can innovatively apply the methods and theories of interior design, in particular in the domain of adaptive re-use, and can combine these efficiently with insights from human sciences, exact sciences, and the arts.

  •  EC 
  • Can research (by design) with a sense of intuition, experiment, associative thinking, imagination and emotion and, in doing so, displays an artistic-explorative, visual-imaginative perspective.

  •  EC 
  • Given the complexity of designing and the design context, can independently make precise and responsible choices and develop design solutions in a multidisciplinary context and in dialogue with the stakeholders, always focusing on the user. The graduate is able to reflect critically to adjust own work, vision and process.

  •  EC 
  • Has knowledge about and insight in the work field, both actual and historical, of the interior architect, is able to situate one's own practice within this framework and can implement the newest developments within the work field in one's design practice.

  •  EC 
  • Starting from a complex design question, can independently set up and execute relevant research, integrate the results in the design process, scientifically report about it, and interpret own and others' research results critically, in particular within the domain of adaptive re-use.
