Philippine School Of Interior Design Final Exhibit: Juxtapose

Philippine School Of Interior Design Final Exhibit: Juxtapose

I love living in a big city like Manila. We are surrounded with a plethora of museums, unique cultural experiences and a number of universities, one of these being the prestigious Philippine School of Interior Design. Philippine School of Interior Design has an annual exhibit to showcase their talented students and their works. The students receive only two months to prepare for the exhibit but use their highly trained skills to create masterpieces. If you are a lover of interiors, architecture or designer the PSID exhibit, Juxtapose, is the place for you.

Fun fact: I am a student at PSID as of last August! I didn’t even know a year end exhibit was part of the program and actually received the invite to Juxtapose as a media guest. As a new student I was shocked then intimidated then confident in what I will someday be able to achieve. I am already saving my money to prepare for my future exhibit! This exhibit truly features the finest of Interior Designers and their immaculate designs.

Juxtapose: Espasyo at Panahon by PSID’s Advanced Class of 2018 features 17 booths that used historic buildings for their inspiration. “The aim is to showcase how design can breathe new life into historical spaces and go beyond a structure’s function, thereby challenging the audience to see these historical structures in a new light,” PSID students share.
