  FASHION HOME & SPACE DESIGN AN INTRODUCTION
Aims

The most famous fashion houses are completing their range of products with ideas for furnishing the home - e.g. Armani/Casa, Versace Home Collection - and for the business and hotel sectors e.g. Hotel Sixty. The course gives an introduction to how we lives and experience our homes and workplaces, meeting places and places of transit: hotels, conference centres, trade areas such as showrooms and shops and temporary architecture such as trade fair stands. Behind every project there is careful research into full and empty spaces, light and shade, and proportions, all aimed at transforming the places where man lives his life in line with his needs for comfort, individual expression, congregation, efficiency and communication.
