thoroughly addressed along with the designers and manufacturers who influenced the development of the
design industry of interiors, objects and buildings. The eras are arranged chronologically, and analyzed
decade-by-decade from the 1820s onward to explore the cultural, social, political, economic, and
technological forces in the world at large, and shows how these factors influenced styles and factors of
interior design till today. A study of objects demonstrate how design in turn has influenced the everyday

WORKLOAD GUIDELINES
As a minimum, students are expected to spend about two hours of outside preparation for every hour in
class. For this class it means a minimum of six hours outside of class per week; if writing assignments are
due, students should expect to spend more time to complete their work. Required readings are outside
preparation for this course and should be completed before class for the day they are assigned.
Students are responsible for all the material in the required readings, whether or not the material has been
discussed in class.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. The student will understand the prevailing design philosophies as well as the relationship of interior
design to architecture
2. Identify and understand the broader social context, including economic and social influences, throughout
history
3. Develop their visual vocabulary of interior design, including interior spaces, furniture, architectural
details, and decorative arts objects and eras they belong to
4. Students will familiarize themselves with sources and concepts used in interior design history and theory
5. Enhance their critical thinking and verbal discussions
6. Enhance their writing skills and develop methods for scholarly research within the field of interior design
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Class attendance is required. Students are also required to attend all discussion sessions. Your success in
this class will depend, to a large degree, upon your attendance and active engagement. In-class material
will be reinforced in the required and recommended readings, and some in-class material may not be
covered in the readings. Students are responsible for all lecture material whether or not it is included in the
assigned readings. Class attendance is required and will be monitored. Sometimes an illness, emergency,
or other circumstances may cause you to miss class. You are allowed THREE absences for the semester.
Missing extensive days results in a significant impact on your work, and to your participation in the class.
EACH ABSENCE, FOR ANY REASON (except in rare extenuating circumstances) BEYOND THREE, WILL RESULT
IN A REDUCTION OF YOUR FINAL EARNED GRADE.
Therefore, 10 points of your total score will be deducted from your final grade for each absence after three
absences. (For example, 4 absences = 10 points deducted from your total points. Five absences = 20 points
deducted from your total points, etc.)

If you miss class, try to borrow a classmate's notes. The instructor will not assume responsibility for
providing class notes to you.
All exams must be taken on the dates scheduled. Students will only be permitted to take make-up exams in
the case of medical or family emergencies, or if they are away on official university business. Late
presentations will not be accepted. Please take advantage of my office hours to discuss the course or just
to talk. If you cannot make my regular office hours, I am willing to meet you by appointment.
WRITING COURSE
This course is designed to give students experience with writing in an academic discipline. In this class,
you can expect to write regularly during the semester and receive feedback from your instructor to help
you improve your writing. You will also have the opportunity to revise one or more assignments, and to
read and discuss your peers’ work. You should therefore expect a substantial portion of your grade to
come from your written work.
1. The course includes at least two writing assignments per semester.
2. Students will receive timely and detailed critique following each writing assignment
concerning the quality of their writing and suggestions for improvement.
3. Performance on the writing assignments is an important component of the student’s course
grade.
4. Quality of written expression is an important component in determining the student’s course
grade.
AUK HONOR CODE AND ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
The core values of The American University of Kurdistan (AUK) are learning, discovery, freedom,
leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility. Each member of the University is expected to
uphold these values through integrity, honesty, trust, fairness, and respect toward peers and community.
Plagiarism is the most common form of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism can be a difficult concept to define;
however, simply put, plagiarism is using other people’s ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the
source of that information. It is important to note that at the university we are continually exposed to
other’s ideas. We read ideas and words in textbooks, hear them in lectures, discuss them in class, and
incorporate them into our own writing. One must always keep in mind that you must give credit when credit
is due. In order to avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use:
∙ Another person’s idea, opinion, or theory;
∙ Any facts, statistics, graphics, visual images (i.e.: drawings, videos, etc.) that are not
common knowledge;
∙ Quotations of another person’s spoken or written words; or
∙ Paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.
If you are unsure about what constitutes plagiarism and academic dishonesty, or have difficulty
addressing source material in your presentations, please consult with the instructor.

TERM PROJECT:
RECONSTRUCTING AN 20th CENTURY INTERIOR
PROBLEM DEFINITION
This project is based on your research skills and also your ability to implement an modern 20th of Century
styles in your interior design. . Students will design (reconstruct) a historical interior of the store or caffe
bar based on provided layouts. Instructor will share to students five (5) CAD files-floor plans of various
retail spaces from abroad. Ares of the each space is approx.50 to 70 m2. Students will apply knowledge of
interiors, architecture, art, and the decorative arts within a historical and cultural context. Reconstruction
will include furnishing plan including all features of particular historical period: ceilings, authentic door
openings, lighting features, fireplace, carpets, curtains, wallpapers and decorative objects such as mirrors
and paintings.
Preferred historical styles are as follows: Art Nouveau, Art Deco, International style, Postmodernist, Pop
Art, Deconstructivist, or any other mentioned during the semester.
After their final decision, students will redesign the same interior according to the chosen style keeping
the main characteristic and integrity of the space.
Students are allowed to change the appearance of ceilings, floors, wall treatment and color scheme in
order to create something unique. They can also redesign furniture in a new way using contemporary
materials. Students are advised to maintain the same furniture layout and the environment in order to
compare both design solutions at the project presentation.
OBJECTIVES
 Reconstruction of 20th of Century interior will be preceded by a thorough research investigation to
identify and evaluate those features and artifacts which are essential to an accurate reconstruction.
 Reconstruction will take care of spatial relationships within the space.
 Reconstruction will be based on the accurate duplication of historic features and elements
substantiated by documentary or physical evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different features from other historic properties. A reconstructed interior will recreate
the appearance of the non-surviving historic property in materials, design, color and texture.
 Redesigned interior will be clearly identified as a contemporary re-creation.
 Designs that were never executed historically will be rejected.

Conclusion
During the fall semester 2019 students demonstrated independent achievement of all planed outcomes.
The course, Interior Design History 2, gave the student knowledge about relationships between the
physical environment - architecture, environmental aesthetics, interior design, furniture design and their
own and others perceptions, understanding, assessment, and aesthetic preferences. Skills in the place of
theories and methods will form the basis for site studies. The purpose of this course was to support
architectural and interior design evaluations as interior architects make in connection with most
engineering tasks. Also to apply their knowledge and architectural principles in their further studies,
especially in complexive courses such as Studio 3 and Studio 4.
The course was a self-study course where relevant literature was discussed. The course was concluded
with an evaluation of place, interior design architecture.
In general, students have shown satisfactory results in independent research of historical data, especially
in the field of furniture design history.
