B.Des Spatial Design at Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore Offline Course

The Spatial Design course at Srishti Manipal Institute invites creative individuals interested in crafting meaningful spaces, imagining reconfigurable interior spaces of future, curating exhibition spaces & immersive experiences, facilitating community commons, and investigating the everyday urban.

During the four-year student journey, an array of modules offers fundamentals of spatial thinking, physical & perceptional sensibilities, shaping space-human interactions, material intelligence, and spatial communication, etc. Real-world immersions, field visits, and critical discussions encourage context-sensitive, locally relevant, and environmentally responsible spatial design interventions.

Rooted in SMI’s interdisciplinary ethos, the course critically explores the idea of ‘space’—not merely as a physical construct but as a medium shaped by human experience, culture, and context.  The learner’s understanding of space design & experiences is enriched from diverse perspectives from furniture and product design, communication design, curatorial and artistic practice, service and systems design, and community collaborations that SMI’s rich ecosystem offers.

The course prepares aspiring practitioners to navigate diverse future faced spatial design practices spanning interior design, exhibition and production design, spatial curation of experiential and immersive environments, facilitation of community and public spaces, urban research and strategy, and artistic engagements with the everyday urban. It envisions spatial design as an interdisciplinary practice to investigate, imagine, and transform spatial environments to enrich human experiences, inspire dialogue, foster belonging, and reimagine the everyday.
