The Big Rethink is a series of postgraduate interior design studios focused on developing a multitude of notions, approaches, positions and arguments within the interior design field. This semester, the fifth one in the series, the studio challenges the concept of the Tectonic Materiality of interior elements. It offers an opportunity to develop a design position in different contexts by questioning preconceived notions of interior design. It emphasizes the relationship between Interior elements and tectonic materiality through experience, organisation and construction.

The first four weeks are a part of the common FD PG Foundation, where students from different streams work together to develop skills and abilities in drawing and making. The latter part of the studio is divided into two modules: the first builds an argument on tectonic materiality and the second module explores three key roles of an interior designer with each student working on three smaller projects.
