Preface This collection presents the works of the second year interior architecture design studio at the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia in 2020. The studio aims at developing design knowledge and skills in responding to the needs of the family as the dwelling users, through a series of design explorations based on the understanding of the programme, tectonic and interiority. The studio became the medium for the construction of knowledge and acquisition of skills on various design aspects that are relevant for the making of the architecture of the dwelling. It became a medium for the students to exercise and experiment with the functional, technical and experiential aspects of architectural space. These are all manifested in the integrated process, from the formulation of design ideas to their materialisation into the architecture and interior of the dwelling spaces. The learning process of this design studio was conducted entirely through online learning due to the restriction imposed by the pandemic situation of COVID-19. The output of the studio, as presented in this collection, demonstrates the result of the students’ independent learning, the commitment to the process and the reflection of their knowledge construction. The works selected represent various dimensions of interior architecture learning that are integrated into the whole design learning experiences.
