Traveling around the world to experience the sight and sounds of different countries and culture is everyone’s dream. However, going on a trip around the world can be quite costly.
With Philippine School of Interior Design (PSID) Advanced Class of 2014 “Globalscapes”, you can now marvel at the exquisitely-designed spaces for free! The exhibit runs from Oct. 1-31 at the Super Sale Hall of SM North EDSA, Quezon City.
To mark its 47th year, this year’s exhibit showcases 22 exquisitely-designed spaces that showcase the beauty and cultural richness across six continents. The students not only took into account their assigned country’s culture but also basic design principles and ergonomics.
“What we want visitors to the exhibit to feel is that they have traveled around the world. At the same time, we want them to get to know a country through our exhibit,” says PSID Advanced Class of 2014 advisor Nicky Jardenil.
The exhibit is divided into different continents: Africa, Asia, North America, South America, Europe, and Australia.
