Interior Design: The Unexpected Consequence of the Lockdown
Wednesday, 04 November 2020
Some people knew they had a great level of creativity since they were children. During this distance learning and online programmes times, many others have found their artistic side, and that should be explored.
The fact that distance learning and online programmes have taken over regular university-attending, made students return from their residencies to go and stay in their homes.
In that context, finding a place to video chat during online programmes became a challenge to many, but others discovered that with a few improvements, they could turn any place into a “distance learning” or “online programme” headquarter (so to speak).
Exponential growth in students' creativity has definitely been one of the consequences of this distance learning dynamic. Not only because different online programmes have required them to make numerous visual presentations, but also because boredom is still a thing in the twenty-first century, and creativity is still the best solution for it.
And staying at home for long periods of time results in changes in the way people perceive their own space: bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, you name it. That, combined with the need to have everything more or less presentable for online programmes (in case video chat is the modality) leads to redistribution, rearrangements, relocating furniture, and a big etcetera.
It might sound very far fetched, but this has also been a breakthrough for some people who found those activities to be very pleasing (¿who would have thought that one of the most performed tasks of 2020 would be rearranging your own house?). ¿So why shouldn't they (or you) explore that by enrolling in a Diploma in Interior Design?
Interior Design is a well-paid profession, and it lets people explore their creativity in different environments where they leave their personal signature, that later transforms into a home for a family, or offices where people spend a lot of time at work, or (fill the blank yourself, any place deserves its own touch).
Now, many universities that offer a Diploma in Interior Design, but not all of them through distance learning (which would be kind of a must in this days), but they are all worth taking into consideration. As an illustrative model, here are some of the courses included in the Diploma in Interior Design at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT):
- Digital Design I
- Design Principles I
- Interior Design I
- African Interior Design I
- Computer Literacy I
- Work-integrated Learning I
