Overview
What you will study
In a time of climate breakdown, new-build and single-use approaches are fast becoming obsolete strategies for making cities, buildings, and interiors. In their place, it is imperative that as spatial designers, practitioners, and clients we learn how to make the most of the resources available to us in inventive ways, and to consider the afterlives of the schemes we design. To do so requires us to challenge the existing processes and considerations of spatial design, to break free of the ceaseless cycle of consumption which characterises the industry. Rather than being seen as a constraint, reuse of resources can offer much stimulus for creativity and innovation in our designs – if we understand how.
Throughout the Creative Reuse in Architecture and Interior Design course by Royal College of Art , the course leaders and invited international experts will provide participants with creative inspiration, insight into global best practice, and the latest developments in applying reuse strategies in architectural designs. Using a range of built case studies, we will explore the social, economic, material, and environmental imperatives for creative reuse, and use this insight as the basis to develop new design strategies for employing these methods in your own work. The course will highlight the untapped opportunities for the reuse of materials, buildings, and sites, and to design for adaptation and deconstruction that we can employ to ensure a more sustainable future.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Overview of the opportunities for employing creative reuse strategies in spatial design
- The benefits of adopting creative reuse within spatial design projects.
- Key considerations to discuss with clients and the design team to aid the integration of these strategies from the outset.
- Real-world examples of creative reuse, implemented at different scales within interior and architectural design schemes in a global context.
- The material and programmatic design impact for employing reuse strategies.
