Today's Blog is about our guest speaker but also about "perception of spatial relationship" from our book. 

The guest speaker talked about the differences in color perception between generations and age groups. Bright colors are appealing to young children, yet the hues of the Great Depression and the 1970s have changed dramatically. Every culture has a different interpretation of color; in China, India, and Africa, red is associated with fury, passion, good fortune, longevity, or death. Interior designers may establish color palettes for multicultural situations with the assistance of an understanding of various cultural views. The speaker emphasized that comparable life experiences and values—which go beyond ethnicity—have a cultural effect on color response.

Architectural views can be laid out freely or using a standard technique, and they are essential to interior design. Because it includes floor plans, sections, and elevations, the usual approach is more accurate than the freehand method, which is faster and needs less information. One-point, two-point, and three-point viewpoints are crucial. The horizontal line, vanishing point, image plane, ground line, and cone of vision are important concepts. With a one-point perspective, the spectator can be parallel to the space since there is only one vanishing point. With two vanishing points, a two-point perspective creates an angle with respect to the structure or area. Projects that require places to gaze up or down, with vanishing points below the ground line, are suited for three-point viewpoints. Maintaining a 1:2 ratio between width and height is essential. Form length and breadth relationships can be ascertained visually and with the use of a pencil.

Rhythm and Emphasis - Blog 6

This week, we covered the fundamentals of interior design in class. Any designer should be able to comprehend them. Interior designers adhere to certain laws and criteria known as principles to create places that are both visually beautiful and useful. Balance, harmony, rhythm, proportion and scale, emphasis, contrast, and details are the seven major tenets of interior design. To feel at ease in a space, one must possess balance. It involves arranging several objects in a room in a way that creates visual balance. Balance may be achieved by utilizing texture, color, and geometry. Balance comes in three flavors: radial, asymmetrical, or informal, and symmetrical or formal.  When visual components are positioned on each side of a central line in a symmetrical manner, equivalent mass. When two sides appear complete and logical while having distinct visual weights, this is known as asymmetrical balance.  In radial symmetry, the design parts radiate either inward or outward from a ...

Point, Line, Form, Plane

Blog Nr. 1   Point, Line, Form, Plane   Point: By reading Chapter 1 of Francis D.K. Chings book is that, the concept of a point in spatial organization and design, describing it as a static, centralized position in space. It highlights its visual significance when placed within a visual field, and the concept of two points connecting them, which can define an axis perpendicular to the line. An example could be a living room axis. Where on one point is a fireplace and on the opposite side of the room is a large picture window, where two points define an axis.   Line: The transition from a point to a line in spatial design, highlights its importance in conveying direction, movement, and growth. Lines are crucial in visual construction, with their dimensions, character, and orientation influencing their appearance. Examples of linear elements in architecture include columns, obelisks, and towers. Lines are used in supporting structures, forming building designs, and accommod...

Blog 8 - Drawings and Rendering

Image
Chapter 9 of Sketching Interiors discusses the importance of freehand sketching for presentations, focusing on common drawings for interior designers like floor plans, elevations, isometric drawings, and perspectives. These drawings are typically created using markers, ink, and colored pencils. Adding entourage, such as plants, cars, or people, helps create scale, dimension, and a realistic feel. The book provides detailed instructions on drawing various types of plants, human figures, and cars, as well as their placement near entrances and other important locations. Floor plans, which show room layouts and furnishings, can become three-dimensional with a wash-like effect. The book also discusses the significance of section, perspective, and isometric views in drawing interiors. This week we also talked about our container project and the precedent studies. The most interesting container homes for me was the Old Lady from Adam Kalkin. Adjacency Matrix  Bubble Diagram Box Diagram Lo...
