Rules for the preparation of project documentation.
Basics of architectural composition
Composition is one of the most complex and fundamentally important disciplines in the professional training of a designer. In the process of teaching the basics of composition, the basic rules of working with compositional space are studied. Techniques and means of conveying various concepts are studied, such as: symmetry, asymmetry, rhythm, space, etc. The composition course is of paramount importance in developing an understanding of the structure of images, imaginative thinking, creative expression and helps you find the necessary resources to create and visualize ideas in the creative design process.
Color Basics
Color theory. Basic characteristics of color (hue, lightness, saturation). Color circle. Means of color harmonization. Psychological impact colors. Color associations. Color and space.
Drawing by representation
Graphic professional language of the designer for expressing ideas in the development of design solutions. Point, line. Geometric structures: linear constructive drawing of flat geometric shapes and tel; tonal pattern of geometric bodies; combinatorics. The relationship between freehand drawing and computer modeling in design Mastering the skills of drawing by representation makes it possible to depict any designed forms, helps students develop volumetric-spatial thinking, analyze the shape of an object, its plasticity, and proportions.
Interior sketching
A live, professional design drawing is an effective tool for communication with the customer, allowing you to most quickly and efficiently respond to all comments, wishes and questions, making it possible to raise the professional status of the author in the eyes of the customer, which cannot but affect the overall assessment of the work. The purpose of the classes is to teach students to be fluent in sketching techniques in order to be able to quickly and efficiently depict their ideas.

Working with suppliers of interior finishing materials
The classes are designed to familiarize students with the types of finishing materials used in interiors. Natural and artificial finishing materials, their scope in various interior solutions. Newest technologies and materials. Ways to implement interior design ideas in the process of implementation when selecting finishing materials and equipment elements in the living space. During classes, students attend master classes, salons, professional exhibitions, and production facilities.
Architectural design
Design as a view creative activity. Norms and rules for interior design. Design order. Sequence of interior design work. Specifics and features of environment design, taking into account the specific functional purpose and ergonomic requirements. Sketch stage of design in the process of searching for a conceptual idea for a design solution. Structural components of the interior. Means of implementing the interior design in the project using such means as: interior finishing materials, color solutions, functional lighting with the selection of lamps, decorative additions, etc. Working with catalogs and reference books on equipment and finishing materials. Selection of visualization techniques for interior solutions. Implementation of interior design projects for public and residential premises with mandatory protection.
We will talk about lighting design. If in Europe this direction has long been one of the important components of interior design, then we are just beginning to form an understanding that the development of competent lighting is as important a part of the interior project as competent zoning, layout, color combinations, selection of materials and furniture. The main objectives of the course are to explain to students the nature of light, teach them to think with light, and give them working lighting techniques with which they can implement their ideas in interiors. The course is designed for both young and experienced professionals, interior designers and architects who want to expand their knowledge of lighting and learn how to use light as a tool in their work.
To participate in the intensive, we managed to assemble a team of the best lighting professionals in our country. Listeners will be able to consider the issue of lighting from all sides: this includes architecture, design, lighting engineering, and lighting control. Representatives of design companies, representatives of lighting factories, architects and designers will come to us and talk about their experience working with light and about completed projects. One of the days of the intensive will be entirely devoted to creating and developing your own lamp, which will be an excellent opportunity to understand how different materials and shapes work with light. In addition to lectures, practical workshops will be held daily ( practical lessons in general, are the basis of our intensive), where intensive participants will work directly with lighting equipment, model and create their own lighting scenes, learn to select lamps and luminaires for their projects and justify their choice to the customer.
Our course is an introductory part to a very interesting profession. Light is a powerful weapon with which space changes and transforms. It’s difficult to master all the nuances of the profession in eight days, but I hope we can lift the curtain and awaken interest in lighting design. In addition, we, of course, will give the necessary theory, teach you how to calculate illumination and explain why LEDs are good/bad. But the main thing that our listeners will get at the end is a powerful tool for transforming space, which they can use in their projects.
I live in America, or rather in sunny, sunny California, almost on the coast Pacific Ocean. If you ask me “Was it difficult to move?”... Friends, of course it was difficult! But what I was 99 and 9 percent sure of was my English. Because already at that moment I could talk and the Americans even understood me. […]

The courses also include classes with native teachers [...]

For a very long time I dreamed of starting to learn English, but as always, everything was either postponed or abandoned. One friend suggested that I go and look at the Start2Study courses.

The courses started literally in a week and I didn’t have much time to think, so I decided to start! […]

I owe my knowledge at the Upper-Intermediate level to the teachers of the Start2Study English language courses. Starting from Pre-Intermediate, for a year I studied with different teachers, both Russian-speaking and native speakers.
