A live, project-based program that trains architects, interior designers and creative professionals to build the environments people remember — event sets, exhibition booths, film sets and brand installations.
International Design Academy exists for one reason: architecture and interior design teach you to design permanent spaces, but the fastest-growing part of the industry today is temporary — sets, stages, booths and installations that exist for a day, a week, a shoot, and still have to work perfectly.
We built a studio-style program around that gap. Every session is live, every brief is real, and every student leaves with a portfolio of built and rendered work — not a certificate for attendance.
Experience Design is the practice of shaping temporary, immersive environments — spaces built to be felt, photographed and remembered, not lived in. It sits at the intersection of architecture, set design, branding and storytelling.
Where it shows up:
As brands compete for attention in a scroll-driven world, temporary environments have become a category of their own — commissioned by event agencies, production houses, exhibition contractors and D2C brands, often on tighter timelines and higher budgets than conventional interiors.
Graduates move into event design studios, exhibition contracting firms, film and advertisement production, brand experience agencies, or start independent practices designing installations and activations.
Designed for architects, interior designers and creative professionals moving into Experience Design through project-based, studio-style learning.
Orientation into the discipline, its industries and career paths.
Client briefs, research, moodboards and AI-assisted ideation.
Environment, layout, circulation and lighting strategy.
Drawings, 3D modelling and presentation-ready visualization.
Fabrication, vendor coordination, costing and site delivery.
Six modules, structured like a real studio pipeline — from first brief to final capstone presentation.
Develop one complete project from concept to final presentation. Choose your track:
"Designed to change how you think, design and deliver experiences."
The same design language, applied across six categories of temporary, high-impact environments.
Short, focused sessions to sharpen a specific skill — offline for hands-on making, online for self-paced software mastery.
Every module maps to a real brief type in the market today.
Real-time critique, not pre-recorded playback.
You design an actual brief end-to-end, not a hypothetical.
Prompt engineering and AI visualization built into the process.
Costing, vendors and site execution — not just concepts.
Leave with work you can show a studio, not a completion badge.
Guidance from working industry professionals throughout.
Direct access to instructors, not a lecture hall of hundreds.

No. AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Photoshop and AI visualization tools are taught from the ground up inside Module 04, with optional deep-dive workshops available separately.
A complete capstone project — design concept, moodboard, AI visualizations, production drawings, 3D model, BOQ and cost estimate, packaged into a final portfolio presentation.
No, offline hands-on workshops (set making, pavilion build, floral styling, backdrop fabrication, art installation) are optional add-ons to the core live-online program.
