These spaces can vary in type and scale from vibrant city centre restaurants and elegant high street shops, through to high end art galleries and domestic environments. In this course, you will develop skills in creativity and technology to help you transform your ideas into spaces and experiences that are inspirational and captivating to those who use, encounter and live within them.
