At JD Institute, we believe in going beyond the confines of textbooks and classrooms to empower our students with immersive experiences that leave a lasting impact. Recently, our interior design students embarked on a transformative journey at the ‘Design Unplugged: Beyond the Sketch’ workshop held at Meraki Dezine. This workshop was not merely an event; it was a profound immersion into the heart and soul of design.

Unveiling the Philosophy, Subtleties, and Real-World Applications of Interior Design

The ‘Design Unplugged’ workshop was an opportunity for our students to gain comprehensive insights into the captivating world of interior design. They delved deep into the philosophy, subtleties, complexities, and real-world applications of this dynamic field. It was a chance to bridge the gap between theory and practice, bringing the art of design to life.

A Journey Beyond the Sketch

Interior design is a field that thrives on creativity, and the ‘Design Unplugged’ workshop was designed to nurture and stimulate the creative minds of our students. It went beyond the traditional classroom setting to provide them with a hands-on experience that is vital for understanding the intricacies of design. The workshop was an ode to the art of design and an opportunity for students to explore its depths.

Immersion into the World of Design

The workshop at Meraki Dezine was more than just an educational exercise; it was an immersion into the world of design. The students had the chance to experience design not just as a subject but as a way of life. They explored how design influences our surroundings, impacts our daily lives, and becomes a part of our cultural fabric.

Guided by Industry Experts

One of the key highlights of the workshop was the opportunity for our students to learn from industry experts. These experts shared their invaluable knowledge and experiences, offering a real-world perspective on the field of interior design. Learning from those who have walked the path of design added depth and authenticity to the students’ experience.

Bringing Design Principles to Life

The ‘Design Unplugged’ workshop was not a passive learning experience; it was an opportunity for our students to witness design principles come to life. Through interactive sessions, practical demonstrations, and engaging projects, they were able to see how design concepts translated into tangible, real-world projects.

Philosophy of Design

Understanding the philosophy of design is fundamental to becoming a successful interior designer. The workshop introduced students to the underlying principles that guide design decisions. They learned how design is not just about aesthetics but also about functionality, sustainability, and human experience. This philosophical foundation serves as the compass for every designer’s creative journey.

Exploring Subtleties

Design is often in the details, and the subtleties can make all the difference in creating a truly remarkable interior. Through the workshop, students had the chance to explore these subtleties, from the choice of colors and materials to the arrangement of furniture and lighting. They realized that a well-designed space is not just visually appealing but also functional and comfortable.

Real-World Applications

The real-world applications of interior design were a focal point of the workshop. Students engaged in practical projects where they applied their newfound knowledge to create functional and aesthetically pleasing interior spaces. This hands-on experience allowed them to see how design principles could be adapted to meet the needs and preferences of clients.

As the workshop concluded, our students left with a deeper understanding of interior design and a newfound passion for the field. They were now equipped with the knowledge and skills to take their creativity to new heights. The experience at ‘Design Unplugged’ not only expanded their horizons but also instilled in them the confidence to embark on a journey of design innovation.
