ABOUT THE COURSES

In the metropolitan of Mumbai, there is a vast demand for specialized and trained INTERIOR DESIGNERS and INTERIOR DECORATORS. Other institutes presently offering education in Interior Designing and Decoration much less fulfill this demand. In fact, all the latest trends of design in this country have originated from Mumbai and such a city has a vast potential for formal training in this intricate field of INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT DESIGNING.

Keeping this in mind in 1997, Late Bhausaheb Hiray Smarnika Samiti Trust set up the “INSTITUTE OF DESIGN” on Plot No. 341, Next to New English School, Bandra (East), Mumbai 400 051. This area of Bandra is yet undergoing major development and is also convenient for students from South Mumbai and Suburban Mumbai, an institute of design offering Certificate and Diploma Courses in Computer Aided Interior Space Design and Management, is ideally located.

It is not yet finally decided but The Interior Design Department would want to broaden its arena to impart education through socially required (Part-Time) short-term special courses namely;

  • Certificate in PERSONALITY ENHANCEMENT & COMMUNICATION SKILLS (30 Hours)
  • Diploma in SET DESIGN (60 Hours)

The motto of the Interior Design Department is – “OUR PASSOUTS must be MORE PRACTICAL ORIENTED (not only poetic) to serve the society in a very NOBLE WAY.

INTERIOR CORNER

While the world has moved on such, that he/she can have a choice about everything, from how he/she likes their tea/coffee to how they personalize their bikes in megacities like Mumbai. On the other hand, scientifically and ergonomically considered and evaluated Interior / Exterior Space design has still to catch up.

In my opinion, one must not forget while designing any environmental spaces (Exterior or Interior) either in smart city or Green architecture or Spaces Environment, to have a main basic CONCEPT (idea) of providing and /or furnishing environmental Space Design for various activity performances along with consideration of safety, desired comfort etc to user/users. This is because professions of Architecture and Interior Designing also, are covered under the “CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT”.

Hence, while imparting education on the students of Interior Design course, it is essential that teachers should stress on the students that Interior Design proposals / assignments should be such that it should not cause any physical/mental problem to the users

and it should create appropriate for our Senior Students of Interior Design Department to organize FRESHERS PARTY for First Year (new entrants) students creating a very pleasing intermingling introductory atmosphere so that new entrants willingly become part of the Interior Design Department Family. e mood to perform the respective required activities with desired comfort, safety, and ease of maintenance in respective designed spaces.
Keeping in mind the above and our suggestions and request with reasoning, our teachers give more thrust on the ergonomically aspects to design along with usability (function) with desired comfort than the looks (aesthetics) only.

Students in our institute learn and are educated in all the basic and specialized aspects of related subjects.
To conclude, I take this opportunity to wish, wholeheartedly all the students to BE SUCCESSFUL AND ACHIEVE ALL THE BEST IN LIFE.
