	MASTER INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
	Piet Zwart Institute Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam University.

At the Piet Zwart Institute, we distinguish ourselves as an  Interior Architecture Master programme by critically examining contemporary design and cultural issues on several fronts,  most importantly creativity, research, and technology. Students are pressed to be independent thinkers and to master new technologies and experimental design techniques, with emphasis given to material exploration, detail and full-scale fabrications as  groundwork to test and realize their ideas. We critically examine the histories  of the interior and beyond, as a means to expand its parameters and propose novel typologies that reflect today’s elastic world. With a diverse and international faculty of  interior architects, architects and designers, students work and train with a variety of talented and highly regarded professionals and educators. We offer extra-curricular cultural opportunities such as lectures, exhibitions, field excursions, interdisciplinary workshops,  and other public events. Based in Rotterdam, one of Europe’s most dynamic design capitals, the  programme uses the city as a creative research platform. We are minutes from a vibrant and diverse urban center with easy access to other design/cultural institutions such as the Netherlands Architecture  Institute (NAi), Berlage Institute, Witte de Withstraat and Museum  Boijmans van Beuningen as well as other significant educational venues.  As part of the Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam University, we  encourage our students to utilize the Academy’s  facilities including the fabrication and material workshops, media and photo labs, computer  studios and specialised and general libraries. During the two year programme, students master critical design and research skills as well as contemporary design processes to be articulate in professional practices and applications. We form design and research projects that delve deeply into an array of cultural, social and professional  experiences as training to foster and push the creative vision.
