As the paradigm shift for mankind takes hold, the Department of Spatial Design starts designing from a new definition of the place where we live. Space is not a simple physical object, but a scene of wholeness that records every moment when people encounter and live together. Since space is perceived through experience based on human senses, spatial design is a field that should lead to a self-directed and creative approach by cultivating a deep insight into the zeitgeist in the morphotic linkage of technology development and social change, sometimes macroscopically, and sometimes microscopically.

Since the institution of the Department of Interior Design in 1998, the Department enlarged its educational field by changing the name as Dept of Spatial Design in 2016. Furthermore, educational direction is to provide the comprehensive and creative design education centering on people to foster design professionals who are active and convergent. The Department of Spatial design recognized and maintained as the best educational institute in the spatial design field by keep providing a structured studio teaching environment, practical research through excellent faculty and industry-academy partnerships that are widely linked with international reputation foreign institutions, and specialized international exchanges with U.S, China, Japan and Italy.

The ultimate educational goal of the Department of Spatial design is to educate the designers who can lead the zeitgeist, and who are the best experts in the field. Our training starts from having an insight into space based on a theoretical understanding on expansion of the concept and value of spatial design. Students will complete educational programs at each stage to actively fuse humanities and social studies and high-end technology so that creative thinking and expression of spatial design can be achieved. In addition, the Department builds systematic management to provide educational programs in a multifaceted and comprehensive manner so that the student potential can be maximized generative.

Courses are arranged by each academic year for the cumulative education of spatial design. In the first year, freshman develop basic skills of spatial design, such as grasping the physical/visual characteristics of objects, with creative and experimental attitude through training on 2D and 3D design based on understanding of spatial concept and design principle. In the second year, the courses analyze the design and psychological meanings of the components and basic concepts of space, and grasp the spatial viewpoints on nature, human and world. The courses also overlook the characteristics of spatial culture from the perspectives of space and design.

In the third year, students learn broader and more practical processes such as interior design, generative design, residental design, exhibition design, display design, public design and furniture design, and acquire the ability to interpret complex functions as in accommodation space and work space with the abilities cultivated through various curriculum areas. The fourth-year senior explore selected research topics (ideas, phenomena, designers, works, etc.) on spatial design in the form of seminars from a design perspective. Classes in the studio format integrate various theories and concepts which have been gained so far and challenge the possibilities of spatial design with a convergent and extended concept bia the critical and subjective perspectives.
