The School of Interior Design’s (SID) Year End Show Committee (YES) is a student run organization that arranges an annual spring exhibit with the mission of showcasing student work and providing a platform for students to celebrate their accomplishments in design, create connections, and establish themselves within the evolving industry.
As designers, we have a unique ability to visualize and interpret different spaces, reframing spatial perception and intention. Through a multitude of drawing conventions, we can visually compose a narrative within an interior. Whether it be through isometric line drawings, carefully composed renders, or technical construction packages, each frame of reference plays a pertinent role in telling the story of a space. However, we must also ask ourselves how differing perspectives can shape the ways we experience interiors, lending emotion to each space that we create.
During our time at SID we are challenged to collaborate, communicate and convey our varying perspectives to achieve a holistic design. The practice of interior design allows us to experience space from another’s perspective, communicating in a language we all speak.
Formerly known as Ryerson University, our school has been renamed Toronto Metropolitan University in 2022 (Learn More). A new name offers an invitation to be more inclusive, to imagine novel ways of thinking and creating — to open ourselves to new possibilities. Toronto is in the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory’. The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.
