Spatial design

Spatial design

Spatial Design is a relatively new discipline that crosses the boundaries of traditional design disciplines such as architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and landscape design as well as public art within the Public Realm.

The emphasis of the discipline is upon working with people and space, particularly looking at the notion of place, also place identity and genius loci. As such the discipline covers a variety of scales, from detailed design of interior spaces to large regional strategies [ [http://www.southwest-ra.gov.uk/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=836 SWRA - The Draft Regional Spatial Strategy ] ] , and is largely found within the UK.

As a growth area of design, the number of Spatial Design practitioners work within existing disciplines or as independent consultants.

The subject is studied at a number of institutions within the UK [ [http://www.falmouth.ac.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=177&Itemid=201 Spatial Design: Interior & Landscape BA(Hons) - University College Falmouth, the UK's leading arts college/university ] ] . Though as with any new field of study these courses differ in their scope and ambition.
