Determination of the structure of the project based studio courses for the education of interior design bachelor

In order to develop interior design bachelor education on national scale, it is necessary to structure teaching methods and course contents within the framework of international professional qualifications. For this purpose, in this study, the most intensive courses which has the highest course hours in the interior design curriculum were discussed. In this paper, it is aimed to examine the structures of design studios in interior design departments accredited by organizations that determine professional qualifications and to create comprehensive data on their contents. The relevant course data for two interior design departments accredited by the CIDA organization in the USA and four interior design departments accredited by national accreditation organizations in Europe were obtained for study. The course contents were classified by coding in content analysis approach. The data obtained will be compiled under four headings: “content”, “subject”, “skill” and “output” for each studio level. As a result, comprehensive and categorized tables was created for each studio level, containing current design issues and studio methods, which can be used as a suggestion for structuring interior design studio classes.
