TITLE: In the Relationship Between People, Objects, and Space in Interior and Exterior Design Through the Principles of Minimalism

Time: 09 -10 July 2026

Overview

The main objective of the Summer School is to develop the theoretical and practical knowledge of students of the Integrated Design – Interior Design specialization, with a focus on the interaction between people, objects, and space in interior and exterior environments through the principles of minimalist design.

Through lectures, interactive discussions, practical workshops, and study visits, participants will explore the principles of minimalist design, functional space organization, the relationship between form and function, as well as the impact of materials, lighting, and architectural elements in creating contemporary environments.

The Summer School will also include practical field activities, architectural case studies, design exercises, and social activities that encourage collaboration and creativity among students.
