Peter is again teaching a graduate elective comprehensive course on Interior Architecture. This course is an intensive survey of world interior architectural aspects to design, with a concentration on western trends, covering central Mediterranean ancient cultures, through current built environments on an international framework. Topics include basic interior elements within an historic context, color theory, FF&E interfaces, sustainability of conventional and innovative material selections and how these affect how and why we create interior environments. The course culminates with a design charette project of a local café/bistro

Peter outlines the difference between these two disciplines and why it is important to understand the varying skills, roles and responsibilities involved for projects, whether it be a student level investigation or a real client project. He evaluates a broad spectrum of project types and sizes world-wide. He also tries to clarify the blurred distinction and qualifications of these design realms.
