academic year 2010-2011 - Gerrit Rietveld Academie

The study programme focuses on the design of interior spaces
and the elements in those spaces. There are links with the
whole field of architectural design and the overlapping areas:
urban development, landscape architecture, architecture,
interior design and furniture design.
The study programme is organised in such a way that graduates
may be listed in the Architects’ Register as interior
architects.
During the first specialisation year, the students work on a
wide range of assignments.
The development of spatial understanding, expressive capacity
and conceptual thinking are the focus of this phase. During
the second specialisation year, the student has more freedom
to determine his/her own study programme.
They are will be able to choose where they want the emphasis
to lie during their study, eventually resulting in a selfformulated
project in the final examination year.
A work placement of at least three months is a compulsory
part of the study programme.
