Interior Design: Planning Meaningful Spaces

Creating a space that tells a story beyond the simply functional, is a complex and exciting challenge. Architect and urban planner Gab de Matos, named 2020 architect of the year by the IAB-RJ, teaches you to plan spaces full of meaning.

In this online course, learn the entire process for designing or renovating a space from a conceptual foundation. Gab guides you from start to finish, beginning with the brief, looking for references, choosing materials, and finally, organizing the project calendar.

Meet your teacher for the course, Gab de Matos, and hear about her journey so far in the world of architecture. She talks about her main influences, sources of inspiration, and some of her most important projects.

She then explains how each individual space has different functions, before you learn to organize your references and use them to select furniture, lighting, and the color palette.

Now get to work on your concept! Define the space you have to work with and put together a mood board with references that catch your eye, and get your creative juices flowing, in order to decide on the final elements that make up your project.

To wrap things up, see everything you need to bear in mind when putting together the work schedule. Gab also shows you some of the software that she uses in her studio.
