Teaching Methodology in Interior Design:

-Teaching Techniques and Methods: I use a structured and personalized approach to foster creativity and understanding of key concepts. Lessons include hands-on projects in space design, materials, layouts, and ambiance, with case studies to strengthen analytical and creative skills. Teaching techniques also incorporate software use, such as Homestyler, Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Lumion, and Adobe Suite.

-Typical Course Structure: Each class begins with a discussion to assess the student’s expectations. We then delve into the topic of the day, covering theoretical concepts, a practical exercise, and a critical analysis, followed by additional resources for further study.

-What Sets Me Apart as an Instructor: My international experience offers a broad perspective on design trends. I emphasize creativity while providing a solid foundation and a supportive, yet rigorous teaching style.

-Target Audience: My courses are designed for high school students, early university students in architecture or design, and anyone looking to discover or deepen their understanding of interior design.

I offer personalized online 1:1 tutoring for anyone who wants to create a strong, original and professionally presented architecture portfolio.

For high school students applying to architecture school, I guide the complete development of an admission portfolio—from discovering personal interests and generating creative project ideas to observational drawing, conceptual thinking, experimentation, model-making and final page design. No previous architectural experience is required. Together, we build a portfolio that demonstrates curiosity, imagination, creative potential and an authentic personal voice.

For architecture students applying to a Master’s degree, the tutoring focuses on presenting a higher level of intellectual and creative thinking. We develop a clear portfolio narrative while strengthening research, analysis, conceptual development, transdisciplinary connections, architectural experimentation and visual communication. The portfolio is carefully adapted to the character and expectations of the selected universities.

For graduates and professionals seeking architectural employment, I help create a focused professional portfolio that can attract the attention of leading architecture firms. We select and improve the strongest projects, clarify your individual and team contributions, and present your technical abilities through plans, sections, construction details, diagrams, models and visualizations. We also work on personal branding, graphic consistency, storytelling and the immediate visual impact of the portfolio, helping you communicate your value quickly and improve your chances of securing an interview and being hired.

Every student receives a completely individual process based on their goals, experience, application deadlines and target universities or architecture offices. You may begin with no portfolio, bring an unfinished one, or ask for a professional review and improvement of an existing portfolio.

I am an architect, artist, author, former Head of an Architecture Department and international lecturer with more than 25 years of experience in architecture, design, creative education and portfolio development. My role is not to impose a generic style, but to help you discover what makes your work unique and transform it into a clear, memorable and convincing portfolio.

Learn to develop strong architectural concepts, resolve your designs and communicate your ideas with confidence.

I am Murad, founder and principal architect of ONARCH, with 22 years of international professional experience. I hold a Bachelor of Architecture from Jefferson University, USA, and a Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University, New York.

These personalised, one-to-one sessions support architecture students and graduates at every stage of their design development. We can work on concept development, site analysis, spatial planning, circulation, scale, proportion, studio projects, portfolio reviews and jury preparation.

Each session begins with your brief, current work and questions. Through discussion, sketches and constructive critique, we explore possible solutions and establish clear next steps. You will learn to understand and explain your design decisions, building skills you can apply to future projects.

I also share practical insights into clients, budgets, construction, project feasibility, real estate and running an architectural practice.

Sessions are tailored to your level and goals. My role is to guide your thinking and help you develop your own work independently.
