The sensory and experiential aspects of spatial design define environments and foster intentional user interactions. Through ArtCenter's STEM-designated Master of Science in Spatial Experience Design (previously known as the Master's in Environmental Design), you'll push creative limits and redefine stylistic constraints by exploring connections between psychological, physical, emotional, and sensory dimensions of space creation.
Establish yourself as a visionary design leader, mastering the evolution of spatial design with an emphasis on groundbreaking innovation. ArtCenter's two- or three-year spatial design graduate program merges theoretical depth with practical application, blending conceptual thinking with technical advancement. Engage in scenography, manufacturing, fabrication, and project realization that prioritizes environmental futures over fleeting trends.
Spatial experience examines the evolving nature of narrative-driven design to develop staging and sequencing that embody the dramatic essence of specific spatial encounters. Our spatial design curriculum provides specialized expertise, combining theory and hands-on practice. Integrating knowledge from multiple disciplines, we practice environmental design with compassion, awareness, fairness, and inclusivity. We champion spatial equity and deeper insights into how creativity can drive meaningful global transformation.
