It is 2523 in Derbyshire, England. Most of the country has flooded, the population has dwindled, and the government has decided to gather the remaining population under their surveillance. A small percentage of people have managed to escape and have gone into hiding. The Polarodians are a small community that worship a ancient relic found in the area where they started living, called Lumsdale Falls.
The reason why they have survived for so long in hiding from the government, is because they live camouflaged within the area of Lumsdale. They do this by using materials for their buildings that resemble the forest in which they reside, with reflective materials and other strategies of deception.

Interior Architecture and Design at NTU has an incredibly long and rich history; with Interior Decoration taught at the first ever UK Art school, in the Waverley building during the 1950s.
Over the last 70 years, our programme has grown and adapted to meet the requirements of industry and social change, respond to trends, and deliver a degree which encourages students to look, think, critically appraise, and understand local and world issues amongst the principles of design.
We are a validated degree programme in which our students can join the Chartered Society of Designers, and we are members of the Interior Educators network. Our dedicated design studio in the Grade II* listed Arkwright building enables a studio culture which reflects professional practice, in a dynamic environment that challenges everyone to work collaboratively, share experiences and experiment with ideas.
