Driven by its commitment to fostering creativity and developing the artistic sense of its students, PUA’s Faculty of Arts and Design hosted a specialized workshop titled “The Language of Space”, supervised by the Student Activities Department. The workshop was attended by a group of Interior Design and Visual Arts students, focusing on exploring space as an active and vital element in the design process rather than a mere void. It highlighted the continuous dialectic between mass and space in constructing interior compositions and emphasizing the visual identity of design projects.

The workshop addressed the methodology of transitioning from realism to abstraction. The supervising professor explained that contemporary interior design language relies on reducing direct details and transforming them into simplified symbols and elements that carry deep intellectual and functional connotations. It was noted that the abstraction process aims to focus on the essence of lines, areas, and visual relationships, transforming the design from a literal depiction of reality into an intellectual and philosophical translation of the Design Concept. This approach provides the designer with broader and more impactful expressive tools.
