WLCI School Reviews Integrated Design

Design is a discipline that cannot be compartmentalized! It flows into different disciplines and enriches them. Of late a new design approach has emerged which is called ‘Integrated Design’. In integrated approach the collaborative method for designing is used and many external factors and designing channels are taken into consideration. 

This new form designing is used mostly in the field of architecture and also in interior design. The integrated design process requires multidisciplinary collaboration, from conception to completion. Decision-making protocols and complementary design principles must be established early in the process in order to satisfy the goals of multiple stakeholders while achieving the overall project objectives.

In addition to extensive collaboration, integrated design involves a “whole building design” approach. A building/structure is viewed as an interdependent system, as opposed to an accumulation of its separate components (site, structure, systems and use). The goal of looking at all the systems together to make sure they work in harmony rather than against each other.

This inbuilt ‘Harmony’ that it achieves in its process of project implementation is a unique element of integrated design.

Nowadays many institutes provide a rigorous program for students with a platform to study integrated design fields. It emphasizes innovation in art and design practice grounded in a conception of design as an agent of social change. 

WLCI Design School also teaches “Visual Communication” course to the students, that comprises ‘Integrated Design’ in its syllabus. The eligibility criterion is completion of 10 +2 years of education or graduates. There are special courses for working professionals also.
