What is Studio 7? 
 

On January 31, 2008, a group of eleven students (and one core faculty member) gathered together in a tiny room in the basement of Cornish's main campus building in order to find ways of facilitating a better exchange of knowledge and information amongst the sophomore, junior, and senior level students; as well as to enhance the visibility and influence of the interior design program within Cornish and the local community.       

 


  
Interior Design @ Cornish
 
The Interior Design curriculum provides an educational setting that enables students to develop into analytic creators and transformers of space. Working with a sophisticated understanding of spatial and visual elements, students apply their knowledge to all places in which people live, work, and play while respecting the culture, history, and the environment of the place. Interior designers create innovative interiors for existing buildings and work alongside architects in the development of new structures. Interior design affects the use of the space and the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants. Interior designers strive for functional improvement, visual enhancement, and social and psychological enrichment of interior spaces. In conjunction with these considerations, interior design decisions are informed by the environmental impact of fabricating a space based on material and industrial developments. Alumni have professional opportunities to enter design positions in interior design firms, architecture companies, kitchen and bath companies, and in-house corporate design groups. They may also work as fabric and carpet design developers or as independent design contractors.
