Module Indicative Content
This module studies the process of restoring or designing the interiors of listed buildings which may be residential or commercial but always of historical significance. The module explains those traditional techniques and design considerations which protect and enhance the integrity of the historic building within which they are located. The relationship between regulatory and other controlling organisations, planning offices and client intentions is explored within the module as is the work of leading practitioners working within this stimulating area of interior design.
Students will produce a report describing the criteria for the different grades of listing and providing examples from their locality. For a selected building they will produce a site survey and complete a planning application form which will entail the submission of plans/elevations. Having researched the grading for the selected property, they will discuss the implications this will have on any design scheme. Students will be expected to research specialist suppliers and trades people to work on this project. The regulations surrounding listed buildings are extensive and this assignment is designed to prepare students to work in this specialist area. The focus will be on increasing knowledge and understanding of this area and showing the ability to apply this knowledge to specific examples.
