ICMEK 6th
International Congress on Interior Architecture Education 2024
Congress Theme: CORE, CODE, COLLABORATION + CREATIVITY
Design, beyond being a mere preparation for a profession, is a discipline that fosters the development of an individual's creative intelligence and skills. It has now become an integral part of formal education in numerous countries. Design education encompasses a range of skills, including questioning, thinking, finding creative solutions to problems, and building relationships. This evolution has opened the door to a multifaceted study and development of design education, a journey that is both enlightening and inspiring.
While design education in pre-industrial societies was based on the master-apprentice relationship and the model of learning by doing, the Bauhaus School implemented a radical model based on experimental studies. Based on a constructivist approach in primary education, the Bauhaus model has co-operated with different art and design disciplines. Since then, many design education approaches that develop creative thinking and skills, follow technological developments, support social development, and ensure economic and ecological sustainability continue to be developed and tested in design education in parallel with the searches in the act of design.
Interior architecture, as one of the design disciplines, has been evolving and changing since the beginning of the 20th century, with a multidimensional structure that allows for new syntheses. The structure of interior architecture/design education, which has been institutionalised in parallel with the professional practice of the profession and includes different types of knowledge and skills, continues to be structured to respond to the rapidly evolving and changing needs of the times.
The primary objective of interior architecture education is to equip students with creative thinking skills, empowering them to tackle practical problems. Given the context of interior architecture and the intricacy of the issues, developing solutions necessitates interaction with various disciplines. Moreover, contemporary technologies, which have inevitably become more widespread, offer the opportunity to explore creative and innovative new ways of working in interior architecture education, underscoring the importance of these skills in our evolving world.
In Summary, interior architecture is,
At its core (noun, the basic and most important part of something), a design discipline that involves creative (noun, the ability to produce original and unusual ideas, or to make something new or imaginative) action, that uses codes (noun, a system of words, letters, numbers or symbols that represent a message or record information secretly or in a shorter form) that the translation of requirements into abstract items and collaborating (noun, the act of working together with other people or organizations to create or achieve something) with different disciplines in the process.
In this respect, we believe it is important to discuss the core of interior architecture education, the codes that shape and will shape it, the collaborations created with it and the creative actions on an academic platform.
Without breaking away from the context of interior architecture discipline,
Is an interdisciplinary approach to education possible?
What is the future of design skills in the adventure of change and transformation of interior architecture education from yesterday to today?
Which disciplines do interior architecture collaborate with, and how does this affect the educational process?
What is the nature of creative thinking and its relationship with other disciplines?
Is a different kind of interior architecture education possible?
These are the questions we are asking.
İÇMEK2024, which will be organized jointly by Istanbul Kültür University- Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design and Trakya University- Department Interior Architecture, will try to set light on the essence of interior architecture education, the codes that constitute and will form it, collaborations and creative education models at an international level.
In this respect, the theme of İÇMEK2024, which aims to discuss interior architecture education and present various suggestions for its future, is “Code, Core, Collaboration and Creativity” was determined as. With "ICMEK2024 International Congress on Interior Architecture Education", we invite researchers in interior architecture education or professional life to think and produce in order to understand the nature of interior architecture design education and create original, creative education models and discuss experiences, by taking into account today's needs and conditions.
