Nobody believes basically in reality, or in the evidence of his real life, it would be too sad.

This catalogue represents the graduating year of the BA (Hons) Interior Design course 2011-12; it contains extracts from the work of the 17 students whose endeavours over the last 3 years, exemplify an unfettered level of enquiry and a heartfelt passion to make a difference, together with a genuine desire to fully express their creative dreams and aspirations.

This group of students were the first that I accepted onto my course from the big batch of applicants that I interviewed in my first year here at LCA in 2008-09, and as such I’ve really enjoyed steering them through their studies, from their early beginnings to their gritty end, some of them have questioned my rationales but most have embraced the challenges I’ve set them.

For the past year they have immersed themselves fully in their daily engagements with critical situations and contexts, the main focus of which has been their Final Major Projects. They have shared and cultivated their personal design sensitivities and responded well to the forces which shape our built environment with a strong sense of history, tradition, discipline and a clear vision for the future of our Architectural Heritage which have provided the vehicles for their aspirations.

Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Interior Design staff Emma Sharman, Pat Oliver, Sue Lonergan, Niall O’Leary, James Beighton and Anthony Rimmer together with the various visiting tutors who have helped them channel and choreograph their individual talents into creative solutions for what is an exceptional Degree Show and Exhibition.

I therefore wholeheartedly commend the graduating class of 2012 to you, and wish them good luck and every success for the future.

Steve Edge

Here at Leeds College of Art we believe that true creative spirit is born from a radicalisation of the design process, in achieving this we encourage the students to leave the limiting conventions and accepted notions of contemporary design practice, and to cross the boundaries into a more challenging and provocative “hetrotopia” of other spaces, as Foucault called it.

The student’s curriculum therefore does not attempt to totally reflect or imitate the limited and homogenous experiences of industry; neither is it governed solely by learning outcomes and the relentless pressure and pursuit of achievement. Instead it represents the nurturing of a design attitude which often profoundly questions the paradigms of market economies and socio-political restrains governing mainstream practice. It blends theory with praxis in a search for a transformation of contemporary culture and a commitment to re-enchant and re-enhance our everyday lives through actions and deeds.

It emphasises working with and conserving existing buildings, restoring, renovating, preserving and articulating new meaningful places from redundant spaces, which ultimately provide a significant contribution to the nurturing of our spiritual and mental lives. The spatial strategies which our students use to orchestrate their ideas are imbued with sensitivity, care, enjoyment and empathy for the host structures, which direct their journeys of discovery and their tectonic negotiations throughout their final studies.

My work is a result of the combination of my passion for Interior Design/ Architecture, how buildings can be sustainable and my practical nature. The psychological impact of my designs plays a huge role in my design practice.

My inspiration comes from the natural environment, my desire to create spaces that move people and that convey a message.

GURPREET JOHAL +44 (0) 780 535 1485gurpsjohal@hotmail.co.uk

Translating peoples thoughts and ideas into an individual, unique and innovative reality are a what I aspire to do. Utilising a building to its full potential, with sustainability in mind is my best attribute. I’d like to eventually work for an interior design company which focuses on a broad range of design disciplines.

Everyday life and scenarios are a large inspiration. The use of bold colour and both natural and artificial lights to create detailed moods and atmosphere.

i like the spaces i create to be spacious and not cluttered. i try to use building methods and materials that are renewable; i think this makes the space in to a much more enjoyable environment.

i love the outdoors, so i am mostly inspired by organic forms and processes

Beginning my degree started Interior Architecture then during my second year I decided to finish my degree at LCA studying Interior Design. However I developed a keen interest in architecture practice.

My inspiration comes from Frank Gehry’s work and Geometrical forms. Small repeated features which can be found throughout the interior which give identity and personality to the interior.

My focus is designing creative solutions for the functionality and aesthetic requirements of proposed spaces.

My inspiration comes from all art forms, majorly atmospheric fine art, sculpture, the natural world, historical architecture and scenic design.

Matthew SMurthwaite +44 (0) 792 935 9720 matt_waite@hotmail.co.uk

My practice involves taking an idea for a space through from a concept to a final visualisation in order to create functional and sustainable environments, which are hopefully enjoyable and stimulating for the user.

The chance to shape our surrounding environments in which all of us spend so much time is a daunting and challenging but incredibly rewarding task.

Sustainability is the main intention concerned with the finished design. Natural light enables the interiors to become spacious and bright. The aim is to bring the outside in. Mixing old and new finishes together brings a different texture to the interior.

Being around nature since young is the drive that has made finished designs take such a natural and green turn. Finished projects are full of inspirations from nature.

Interior design is all about creating a connection between people and the spaces they use. It’s about designing spaces that are beautiful, functional and sustainable.

I knew that I wanted to become an interior designer, but now coming to end of the degree I realised that just designing the interior is not enough to fulfil my creative needs, becoming an architect however would.

Architects and designers from the 19th and early 20th century such as Gaudi, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Hundertwasser; inspire me more than today’s architects and designers. I am more drawn to colour and details within their buildings.
