Course
CourseAs a student at Corpo-real, the master’s course Interior Architecture, you will delve into literature and you will focus on conducting interviews, observations, design-based research, and artistic methods. You learn to use sources well, communicate what you uncovered and discovered, and organise dialogues and exhibitions for diverse audiences.
Study programme
Year 1
During the first year of the course, you start with weekly Practice meetings where you explore and develop practice-based and artistic research. There are weekly Theory meetings, and you work on a theoretical research question. You will turn this research question into a fully-fledged research proposal in the second semester.
Within CASE, all students work together as if they were a studio. The CASE is an ongoing group research project on the relationship between Power, Space and the Body that is continued from one student cohort to the next. Alongside the weekly meetings, you gather input, inspiration and interdisciplinary approaches through theory modules, the Corpo-real discourse programme and several short skills workshops.
Year 2
During the second year, you will integrate all the different aspects and inspirations you gained during the first year. Towards the end of the second year, you will start working on your final graduation project and thesis. You will showcase all your skills as an artistic and practice-based researcher in interior architecture, allowing you to demonstrate a profound understanding of the field and exhibit your creative talents.
The graduation project is a combination of all the components of the study programme. During this phase, you will be an independent functioning designer or artist, allowing you to organise and structure your work process. Curious about the final projects of the alumni of Corpo-real? Check out the website of Corpo-real, where you can find all the graduation research.

There are a lot of possibilities to try and to rearrange. For example, the programme is not entirely fixed but dynamic, and students can contribute feedback on the course and collectively improve the programme. You can lead yourself, instead of the teacher leading you. Here we have to be independent."
LAB in Zwolle: the home base of Corpo-real
The home base of Corpo-real is the LAB in Zwolle. A place to meet, to have conversations, to exchange ideas. There are also larger spaces available here for you to use, for example, if you want to create larger pieces of work. From the LAB, we seek connection with inspiring (inter)national colleagues.
