Abstract
Learn, experiment and enjoy it – the joy of understanding should translate into the joy of creation, then the joy of creation fits itself spontaneously into the creative process. Learning means sharing knowledge and joy of leading others into the unknown areas they have not discovered yet. Teaching is a constant interaction and exchange on the intellectual and emotional levels, as well as mental and cultural levels – it is also establishing role models and social attitudes.
Young designers are faced with challenge of translating the virtual world into the physical world in the current era of digital technologies. The use of parametric design programs allows them to create a versatile, functional, but artistic interactive environment, capable of shaping the urban interior within the city. This paper aims to present a design process and effect of an experimental, innovative academic program of semester course “Immersive environments and interactivity in designing architectural interiors and their surroundings”. The final projects demonstrate the versatility of understanding and implementing the program and the plasticity of shaping public spaces – valuable skills in a student’s path of design selfdevelopment.
